Book Description
Of the world's 100 largest economies, 51 are now corporations, only 49 are nation-states. The sales of General Motors and Ford are greater than the gross domestic product of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and Wal-Mart now has a turnover higher than the revenues of most of the states of Eastern Europe. Yet few of us understand fully the growing dominance of big business.
Widely acclaimed economist Noreena Hertz brilliantly reveals how corporations across the world manipulate and pressure governments by means both legal and illegal; how protest is becoming a more effective political weapon than the ballot-box; and how corporations are taking over from the state responsibility for everything from providing technology for schools to healthcare for the community.
The Silent Takeover asks us to recognize the growing contradictions of a world divided between haves and have-nots, of gated communities next to ghettos, of extreme poverty and unbelievable wealth. In the face of these unacceptable extremes, Noreena Hertz outlines a new agenda to revitalize politics and renew democracy.
Download Description
"Named one of the best books of the year by The Sunday Times of London, and already a bestseller in England, Noreena Hertz's The Silent Takeover explains how corporations in the age of globalization are changing our lives, our society, and our future -- and are threatening the very basis of our democracy. Of the world's 100 largest economies, fifty-one are now corporations, only forty-nine are nation-states. The sales of General Motors and Ford are greater than the GDP (gross domestic product) of the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and Wal-Mart now has a turnover higher than the revenues of most of the states of Eastern Europe. Yet few of us are fully aware of the growing dominance of big business: newspapers continue to place news of the actions of governments on the front page, with business news relegated to the inside pages. But do governments really have more influence over our lives than businesses? Already sparking intense debate in England and on the Continent, The Silent Takeover provides a new and startling take on the way we live now and who really governs us. The widely acclaimed young socio-economist Noreena Hertz brilliantly and passionately reveals how corporations across the world manipulate and pressure governments by means both legal and illegal; how protest, be it in the form of the protesters of Seattle and Genoa or the boycotting of genetically altered foods, is often becoming a more effective political weapon than the ballot-box; and how corporations in many parts of the world are taking over from the state responsibility for everything from providing technology for schools to healthcare for the community. What is the fate of democracy in the world of the silent takeover? The Silent Takeover asks us to recognize the growing contradictions of a world divided between haves and have-nots, of gated communities next to ghettos, of extreme poverty and unbelievable riches.

Fuzzy Hyperbole.......2006-06-26
I'm about 35 pages into this book, and while some of the information it has presented has been useful (IE, more and more Argentinians were falling into poverty in 2000 or so), mostly the author has made the kind of broad, context-less statements you'd find on a protestor's sign.
Additionally, there are many factual-sounding statements which I don't know the meaning of, and I suspect many others won't know the meaning of either. For example, "51 of the hundred biggest economies in the world are corporations". I'm sure this is important, but I'm not told why. Instead, I'm left with the impression that it's supposed to be ominous, which I don't think is a legitimate way to inform people.
Finally, the example which the author gives as somehow epitomizing how global capitalism leaves people behind is absolutely ridiculous. She describes some guy who was born to a wealthy family, went to school with prince Charles and later attended top education institutions. He later had a successful career. Then tragedy struck and he became an alcoholic, squandering all his money and becoming homeless.
How in the world is this related to global capitalism? It's not in any way that I can discern. I've concluded, then, that the story was included to link some sensational and moving tidbit to her cause.
That's the tone and content of her book so far. She sensationalizes material which, if treated properly, wouldn't need it, and the same time glosses over facts and statistics.
Mind triggering, but just not elaborated well enough.......2005-09-20
In my opinion, "The Silent Takeover" gives only an introduction to the global problems Noreena Hertz sees developing in the 21st century.
Probably she did it on purpose, but when reading the different chapters, I was often wondering where she was taking me. From the very start it is clear that Hertz does not agree with the economic policies of the USA and the UK, that now dominate the world. But every now and then, especially in the beginning of the book, I wondered: so, what's so bad about all this?
Hertz sums up loads of data to illustrate the point she is trying to make. Somehow, I got the feeling that she often makes somewhat strange comparisons. Probably, those who oppose her point of view will find it rather easy to prove her wrong (in their own manipulative way of using statistics).
But all in all, I think the general idea of this book is interesting. It is probably true that companies are acting more and more globally and getting more and more bargaining power with respect to governments. We also see that people are losing interest in politics and that they start protesting against companies. Yes, information provided by the media is crucial for people to know when they should protest, and yes, media companies depend to a large extent on advertising revenues from those same companies, so there you have another problem.
There are many social issues that cannot and will not be dealt with by companies. I think Hertz could have explained that in more detail. I also missed a deeper discussion about the fundamental difference between people voting during elections and people influencing the way companies do business by boycotting them and/or using their votes as shareholders. Or, of course, between NOT voting and NOT influencing those companies.
But my largest disappointment was that the suggestions Hertz offers are very concise. I think she should have spent at least one third of her book in providing solutions, not just some one liners covering the last five pages of the book. With such an abrupt ending the book is unfinished, giving the George Ws and Berlusconis of this world all the opportunities to claim that it is always much easier to criticize than to really do something.
Finally, I think it is also not very convincing to mention that more and more people are joining the camp of the "anti-globalists", when it is clear that most of these have completely different reasons to protest. Although probably many readers of this book would sympathize with Hertz's ideas, I doubt that they would also identify themselves with those protesters we see on TV during G8 meetings etc. In that sense, I think Hertz also failed to present a clear vision, something all her readers would be able to keep in the backs of their minds and do something with, for example convince other people.
In the end, I believe that political parties with such a clear vision could have the impact to change.
So, I think this book is incomplete and therefore a missed opportunity. However, I sympathize with the thoughts presented by Hertz, so I hope she will compensate for the missing solutions in next books.
Even-handed and thought-provoking.......2005-06-27
I contemplated reading Hertz's book a few years ago but passed on it, fearing it would simply retread the same ground as so many others emerging in the wake of the "anti-globalisation" protests. In some ways, I was right, but coming to it four years after publication I found it a useful summary of many of the issues barely-fettered capitalism presents to society, and a fair-handed exploration of the strengths and weaknesses of the corporation-based society we find ourselves in.
Hertz is unabashedly a believer in capitalism, though (in the tradition of such eminent predecessors as Keynes) believes that it should be embedded in a stronger civil society/democratic framework than has been the case since the Thatcher-Reagan revolution. She details many of the ways major corporations (particularly media corporations, but also others from a wide variety of areas) have begun replacing many roles which were formerly those of government.
She points to numerous positive examples of the social contribution of corporations and of the wealthy individuals benefitting from them, but encourages the reader to reflect on the wisdom of ceding so much power to unelected bodies. While consumers retain some power due to the fact that they can set their spending priorities, the distribution of such power is uneven, disenfranchising the poor and favouring those who can shout loudest.
As Hertz clearly demonstrates, a new democratic framework will differ significantly from those of previous times, but if we are to ensure ongoing social support programs and care about long-term community development, democratic oversight is desparately needed. This is not an academic work (those looking for such from Hertz would be better off looking elsewhere) but it is a powerful summary of serious issues confronting global society.
Compelling reading.......2005-05-01
The Silent Takeover by Noreena Hertz is a readable and reasoned critique of globalization from a capitalist perspective.
Hertz, professor of international business at the University of Cambridge, argues that global trade and economic development has become seriously unbalanced in favour of multinational corporations, and that governments have become little more than handmaidens to corporate interests.
Hertz argues that after the fall of communism in Eastern Europe the right-wing in the United States, Britain, Canada, and much of the rest of the developed world vilified the redistributive role of government in society and forced governments to retreat from involvement in the economy.
Known as the Washington Consensus, this movement made International Monetary Fund and other institutional loans to nation-states contingent on government deregulation and trade liberalization. Hertz contends that this retreat from the public sphere has increase inequality and poverty throughout the world and reduced governments to handmaidens for corporations. She writes:
"The role of nation states has become to a large extent simply that of providing the public goods and services that business needs at the lowest cost while protecting the world's free trade system."
Heertz points-out that many Asian governments rejected the imposition of American-style capitalism and regularly intervene in the market for social, political and economic reasons. Although these countries are subjected to the same vicissitudes as states operating on other economic principles, they continue to prosper and some have been so successful they are considered threats by many "First World" states.
Anti-globalization protests are, Heertz contends, motivated by a variety of well-founded suspicions of the emerging capitalist world order. She argues protestors recognize the principle proponents and beneficiaries of globalization in its present form are the United States, international organizations controlled by the U.S. such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, and multinational corporations. The protestors suspect - rightly in my opinion - current trends in globalization will result in gross income equalities like those that have emerged in the U.S. in recent decades. Heertz notes that 97% of the increase in income in the U.S. in the last 20 years has gone to the richest 20% of the population, and that the 13,000 wealthiest households in the United States have almost as much income as the 20 million poorest households.
Heertz claims anti-globalization activist are motivated by the hypocrisy of so-called "First World" countries demanding poor states open their doors to international trade and cease intervening in their economies. The world's richest nations are far more likely to offend the principles of free trade than the world's poorest. The United States pays American cotton growers and buyers approximately 4 billion dollars a year in subsidies. The United States and the European Union use non-tariff trade barriers to keep foreign goods and commodities out of their domestic markets.
Heertz also notes that political campaigning has become so expensive in the United States - and elsewhere in the developed world - candidates must solicit financial and logistical support from corporations, making politicians beholden to corporate interests rather than the electorate they putatively serve. As corporations and their agents use their influence to shred the social contract, anti-globalization activists respond by demanding they provide the services once offered by the state.
From my perspective, the major flaw in this book is Noreena Heertz's failure to address historical claims made by proponents of current trends in globalization. Heertz's critique would be stronger had she pointed-out that the richest nation-states in the world today are wealthy because their governments intervened in their economies. Nonetheless, Noreena Hertz "the Silent Takeover" is a coherent and well written analysis of globalization.
The X factor.......2005-04-07
As an author myself, I recommend that you purchase this book for personal study. "The Silent Takeover" is a great book that confirmed to me the potential problems of Global Capitalism. I never believed that capitalism was truly beneficial, and has caused many problems.

Book Description
A brilliant and provocative analysis of the impact of globalization, in the tradition of Naomi Klein’s
No Logo.
The way we are governed is changing. Government has less and less power to influence how we live our lives, while the private sector has more power than ever before. To understand the new world in which we are living, we need to learn to challenge long-held assumptions about the nature of power in society. The Silent Takeover is an essential guide to that new understanding as we enter the 21st century: a time in which we can no longer rely on politicians to meet our needs; a time in which business, rather than political parties, offers the way forward; a time in which we can make more of an impact through our pockets than through the ballot box.

Emotional and Reactionary.......2003-12-09
While I respect what Hertz is trying to accomplish in her book, I think her writing is very reactionary and not well thought out. She highlights many problems in today's global culture, but only presents a very cursory and biased discussion of how they should be interpretted. I agree with many of her arguments, but I think she does a poor job of supporting her ideas.

Book Description
This book argues that property and power are central to understanding the position of women in family farming. Using comparative examples, different chapters consider the transfer of land between men, the changed role of women in the dairy industry in the nineteenth century, women in farming organizations, women in agricultural education programs, and the role of the state in shaping the lives of farm women. The common themes of power and property underpin all the chapters.

A pre-modern institution: Old evils, old virtues.......1999-09-14
Sally Shortall is offering us an intriguing journey to the construction of female identity in modern Europe. Surprisingly though, she has chosen to investigate and argue about a 'forgotten' group of women: farmer-women. Until today most of the research about female identity has been focused either on women in general, or industrial and managerial workers in particular. In both cases the urban setting has received most of our attention. Yet, farm-women are equally, if not a more interesting case. Why? Because they literally marry their job. As soon as a woman becomes the wife of a male farmer, she automatically becomes a farm-woman. No choice is given, no options are available. She is destined to remain in this occupation, helping her husband, raising children, doing all kinds of jobs on the farm, or even managing the farm herself, without the prospect of salary, promotion, or political acknowledgement of her input. It sounds like a pre-modern condition, and this is exactly the case. Farming is a pre-modern institution where power is transfered and held via the custom of premogeniture. The book investigates the historical development of the position of women on farms, while it examines the parallel development of political theories (e.g., Lock, Marx, Weber) vis-a-vis farming in particular and private property in general. Though it is certainly on the side of farm-women, unacknowledged, unpaid, unrepresented, the book does not take an easy ride on the subject. Instead, it ends with a difficult and intriguing question: Having the ability to choose, which condition is better: A family-farm ruled by premogeniture, or a gender-free farm ruled - eventually - by a capitalist corporation? As the title of the book implies, the issue at stake is power, yet the answer is not an easy one.

Everything you wanted to know about internet job sites.......2006-12-17
This book is the only one I came across that explains major internet job sites and what type of information they can provide. If one is a high school student, college student, or career changer, there is a list of the sites that offer free personality tests that can determine the best jobs out there for the individual. For people who know what jobs they are seeking there is a comprehensive list of web sites offering job openings as well as networking organizations and headhunters. Once you find the job you are interested in there ia a list of web site that will help you determine reputation of the company you are applying to and how well financially they are doing. In addition, you will find tips on interview techniques and writing cover letters as well as references on salary negotiation. Quick read, well worth anyone's time.

Excellent, affordable guide for finding a job online!.......2000-03-26
WOW! This book organizes your job search the same way a headhunter or career counselor would--for a small fraction of the cost! I was able to find the answer to every job search question I had, and then some, (from how to write a resume and cover letter to the best place to post your resume to learning what salaries and benefits you should ask for) by using the sites listed. I also liked learning how to find "insider's information" about the company you're applying to. Would highly recommend this book to anyone.

warm, useful, helps couples build trust.......1996-06-22
Boy, did this book come in handy for us! It gave us
a framework in which to discuss finances and other touchy
subjects productively. We were both mid-life and owned
property. I had been married before (no children), but my
husband never had. We decided to have a legal contract, as
well as a personal contract, and this book provided
guidelines for creating both. Much as media exposure leads
one to think otherwise, the contracting process allowed us
to develop a fuller trust of one another by the time we
married.
