Gilbert has written the book we all wish we could write. It offers a very concise description of the world's economic, environmental, social, and governmental problems, but more importantly, it tells us what we can do about them now, before it is too late. The book is jam-packed with interesting data, much of which is from China-the new epicenter of toxic capitalism. Although it can be used as a great reference, it is not merely an academic tome. It has an armchair feel and is a terrifi c read. Bravo Frank T. Gallo, Ph. D., Chief Leadership Consultant, Aon Hewitt Greater China, and the author of Business Leadership in China | Toxic Capitalism by Gilbert Van Kerckhove, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
