I really thought this book was a bit self-inflated garbage.  I wanted to read the actual source of all the current popular "communist" talk.  This thing reads like a freshman's college essay on Capitalism, when it seems they didn't really understand the concept.  I kept picturing girls in beret's from the '70s walking around with a copy telling people how "cool and enlightened" they were.  I would highly avoid skipping this one altogether.
