Just heard that “Mobs” debuted on the NY Times non-fiction hardcover list (September 23, 2007) at #20, which means it won’t be on the printed list, but a good showing still for a 400-plus page book packed with history and economics and pretty controversial material on the war, globalization, and the media — not the usual fodder of business books…
If you liked it, please write reviews – would much appreciate it. This wasn’t a book calculated to make us popular, especially as we don’t pay obeisance to the group. It was a purgative administered to the body politic, because in our honest opinion it needs it….
Congratulations from a fellow writer! My stuff is scholarly legal stuff – I’m happy for you that your book ranked as a best seller.

<p>Thanks very much. A lot can get compromised to survive in the market place. But there are also crucial ideas academics know that the broader public needs to know. It may be worth the compromise to make the ideas accessible….
It would be a nice thing, for instance, if people didn’t confuse free enterprise and capitalism with mercantilism and financialization….
