Title: A brilliant reframing of the neocon agenda
Review: Attacks from the neocons come from so many directions that it's often hard to articulate an overarching/ underlying principle behind their agenda. Until recently, I might have identified "greed" or "desire for absolute power," as their byword, but after reading The Fox in the Henhouse, I'm inclined to agree that "privatization," in its largest sense is a crux of the problem. By reconceptualizing the notion of what is and ought to remain "public," Si Kahn and Elizabeth Minnich awaken us not only to the dangers of privatization, but also to the rights, the resources and the responsbilities that we have as members of the endangered public sphere. This is a vitally important book for understanding our current situation, for recognizing new threats, and for taking effective action.
