"...extremely timely...irreverent but thought-provokingexamination of the goings on in international finance today...packs a serious punch." (The Independent) "To say that this book is skeptical or contrarian is like sayingWarren Buffett has money....entertaining criticism of anything andeverything...I read the full 400 pages in just a few days.."-RobMay at Business Pundit (Top 10 business site)http://www.businesspundit.com/50226711/mobs_messiahs_and_markets.php(Nov.2007) "...the recent market instability stemming out of subprime woesmakes this book extremely timely." (Gulf Business, February2008) "Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets by William Bonner and LilaRajiva is a fascinating work....downright hilarious...a seriouslook at an important phenomenon in the human condition."- Dr.Jonathan Dolhenty of the highly rated philosophy site, RadicalAcademy (Oct. 2007) "a sharp-witted jaunt through the mass hysteria that'sdefined markets and people through the ages" -Money Week (Sept.2007) "William Bonner and Lila Rajiva provide the answers in thisexhilarating -- if somewhat depressing -- book. Although theirinsights will often make readers laugh out loud, they will alsofind themselves wriggling uncomfortably at the manifold idiocies ofhuman behaviour." -The National Post, Canada (Nov. 07) "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds byCharles MacKay would be a better choice to begin. Without thatcontext for this book, you'll find yourself gobbling caviar withoutknowing what it is." - Donald Mitchell, author of The 2000 PercentSolution, December 18, 2007 "A fascinating book," - Alan Caruba in Book Views, December,2007 "Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets is a tragi-comedy, full of sharpobservations, delivered with equally sharp wit. This book's darkand disturbing revelations could leave one depressed anddisillusioned, were it not so damn funny." -- Adam Bergen at BlogCritics, December 31, 2007
