Boob Jubilee The Mad Cultural Politics of the New Economy Salvos from the Baffler
Author: Tom Frank, Dave Mulcahey, Studs Terkel
Salvos of sane and humorous dissent from the worship of the almighty market.

Here their best writings are selected, updated, and reaffirmed, to sharpen our wits and inoculate us against follies yet to come.
