If there is one serious book that you read this fall, let it be Silent Coup: Confronting the Big Business Takeover of Canada by Tony Clarke. This book will help you understand what is ailing our country and what you might do about it... it gives us hope and guidance around the ability of citizen movements to rebuild our economy and our society... Silent Coup does a good job of pulling together a wealth of information in a clear and understandable way. Well worth your while!"
