A few weeks back spiked-online published my review of Paul Mason's (BBC Newsnight's) Live Working Or Die Fighting. He's summarised the essay 'for those who don't have time to read spiked-online' (so why write a book if you think nobody reads?), on his blog.
Interestingly, he denies championing NGO's cause against China, so why does he bemoan the fact that NGO's are 'weak in that area'? It surely suggests he wishes they were stronger. And this actually follows other passages in his book (which were not quoted in my book review), whereby he reckons that Oxfam and others can do some good in challenging international capital. Still, his pithy comment about 180 degree turn on goggle-eyed workerisms raised a smile.
