Media Reviews
Praise for The Lugan Report: With acid wit and somber truths, The Lugano Report brilliantly portrays, through the eyes of its imagined but all-to-realistic planners, a world that may be heading for deep trouble. -- Noam Chomsky In this satire, a summit on preserving the capitalist order comes yo some disturbing conclusions as it follows the logic of capitalism ad infinitum. -- Washington Post The Lugano Report is a brilliant and innovative means of exposing a world order that serves only the strongest. A compelling satire, packed with information, this is the work of an author in complete control of her subject. -- George Monbiot In this book, at once funny and tragic, Suisan George reveals the power of neo-liberal prophecy and the absurdity of the economic system it has in store for us. Pierre Bourdieu An extraordinary, original book of exquisite irony, a kind of Catch-22 of capitalism. -- John Pilger
