Review # 1 was written on 2020-05-05 00:00:00 Morgan Ruoss Good chronological history of WTO and trade agreements but doesn't explain what's in them. I wanted to understand details for any given trade agreement like what countries, what products, what rules enforced, what tariffs eliminated and what the prospective impacts those would have on producers, consumers and the economic status of regular people.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-10-29 00:00:00 Paul Rich Either this book is seriously dated (my copy says 1975 on the copyright date) or I just haven't risen to the importance necessary to employ the tactics described in this book. Some of it, like when he says 'people you know are more fun to control than people you don't', made me feel downright greasy. If crap like that is what it takes to get ahead at high levels of power, I'll consider myself blessed just to be a peon. There are some bits of wisdom and humorous anecdotes on human behavior. If you choose to read this book, do it so you can recognize when some tool tries to play games and subconsciously exert their power on you.
