Rezensionen

"This is a dark yet scholarly treatise. The author is widley read in philosophy, management and economics... but has deliberately tried to keep a low profile, leading the solitary scholarly life and concentrating on writing books that have generated quite a reputation, unknown to most of his university colleagues but acknowledged by no less than Chomsky." - The Economic and Labour Relations Review
