BOOKCASE : The Democracy Sham: How Globalisation Devalues Your Vote


• Bryan Gould • Craig-Potton Publishing • $29.99

As someone with natural bent for questioning “prevailing wisdom”, I always enjoy books that offer well-reasoned challenge to orthodox thinking and New Zealand author Bryan Gould does just that – with authority, elegance and passion.

That we’ve all got to trade is given – but when international capital can freely roam the world, building some economies, beggaring others, what are the implications for national self-determination? More voices are now questioning the chaos caused when market forces are given totally free rein. thought-provoking read.
