Your Call is Important to Us:
The Truth about Bullshit
by Laura Penny
McClelland & Stewart, 278 pages, $22.99
I'd like to read these two books reviewed in The Toronto Star today (if they ever arrive at the Book Depot). It was the quote from the Laura Penny book that hooked me:
"Corporations evade taxes, cook their books, create big toxic messes, and screw their workers for the best possible reasons: because they can; because it pays; because we, the chumps, are willing to pay for it so long as we get our little sliver of the tasty pie."
And I'd just begun to muse that age might be eroding my socialist tendencies!
