The Sport and Prey of Capitalists: How the Rich Are Stealing Canada’s Public Wealth: summary, description and annotation

If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In the early 1900s, thousands of Canadians battled wealthy interests, winning control of Niagara Falls and creating a public power company. Another popular movement succeeded in creating Canadas public broadcasting system to counter American dominance of the airwaves. And a Canadian doctor established a publicly owned laboratory that saved countless lives by producing affordable medications, contributing to medical breakthroughs and helping to eradicate smallpox throughout the world.But in recent decades, we have allowed our inspiring public enterprises to be privatized and our vital public programs downsized, leaving us increasingly dominated by the forces of private greed that rule the marketplace.In The Sport and Prey of Capitalists, Linda McQuaig challenges the dogma of privatization, which has defined our political era. She argues that now more than ever, as we grapple with climate change and income inequality, we need to expand, not shrink, our public sphere.

Praise for Linda McQuaig
On The Trouble with Billionaires
A devastating expose An indispensable read.
Naomi Klein
Magnificent the book of the moment.
George Monbiot, UK journalist and columnist for the Guardian
I dont know another book that illuminates the epic crime behind the current economic crisis as concisely, vividly and truthfully
John Pilger, UK-based journalist and documentary filmmaker
A narrative that moves along at the clip of a detective novel. I adore this book with its policy smarts and folksy style.
Ellie Kirzner, NOW Magazine
This book is chock-full of hard economic facts yet its as readable as a crime novel. Come to think of it, this is a crime novel except that its true.
Jim Stanford, economist and CBCTV commentator
Cutting commentary on disproportionate wealth by one of Canadas most provocative journalists and a leading Canadian tax expert.
Canadian Press
On Its the Crude, Dude
McQuaigs perceptive inquiry into the worlds energy system is an urgent wake-up call that should and must be read and acted upon without delay.
Noam Chomsky
Canadian journalist Linda McQuaigs brilliant Its the Crude, Dude will give you an overview of Iraqi history and indeed of the frantic hunt for the last of the worlds oil that will transform your view of everything current.
Heather Mallick, Globe and Mail
McQuaig gives the reader an entertaining crash course on the history of the oil industry Its a highly educational rant and a deliciously written one.
Gazette (Montreal)
Extremely interesting McQuaig writes extremely well, and has clearly done her homework.
Winnipeg Free Press
An analysis presented with passion and impressive detail.
Macleans
On The Cult of Impotence
Linda McQuaigs magnificent new book, The Cult of Impotence, is the slap upside the head we all sorely need.
Heather Mallick, London Free Press
This fifth in her series of Establishment-debunking firecrackers is a significant and fascinating read.
Peter C. Newman, Globe and Mail
On Shooting the Hippo
Part thriller, part financial expose McQuaig has written an accessible and essential introduction to Canadas economy for all Canadians I intend to send a copy to my federal MP, and hope that the book gives him the kind of nightmares it gave me.
Gazette (Montreal)
McQuaig has laid out sufficient material to throw serious doubt on the economic policies that dominate our society.
John Ralston Saul, Globe and Mail
McQuaig one of the countrys most effective journalists has put together a devastating analysis of the debt/deficit fiasco.
Edmonton Journal
Like Isaac Asimov, who popularized science for the masses, McQuaig has the gift of making the complicated world of economics understandable.
Financial Post
If there is anyone who can make economics sexy, its popular financial writer Linda McQuaig. Free of jargon and cant, down-to-earth enough to make media potentate Conrad Black white with rage this woman dares to unmask the arrogance and greed of the worlds corporate money managers.
Times Colonist (Victoria)
On The Quick and the Dead
Read this story about Brian Mulroney and get angry filled with solid reporting and excellent analysis and tells a story that is enough to make you weep.
Calgary Herald
McQuaig has given us a masterly, intelligent analysis of whats happening to Canada provides a metaphor that absolutely and chillingly captures our prime ministers character and aspirations. Linda McQuaig gets my own private award the Canadian Book of Greatest Cultural Significance.
Brian Fawcett, Books in Canada
On The Wealthy Bankers Wife
The Wealthy Bankers Wife offers an opportunity to elevate the forthcoming debate to a more intelligent level than the boys in the back room are planning for us. Whether that opportunity is taken depends on whether readers and the media pick up the gauntlet McQuaig has thrown down.
Stan Persky, Globe and Mail
Linda McQuaig is one of the most vibrant, effective and readable journalists in the country provocative and fascinating.
Michael Coren, Law Times
On Behind Closed Doors
A tough and thorough analysis of how Canadas tax system rewards the rich a devastating profile of Mickey Cohen.
Peter C. Newman
Courageous The brilliantly written chapter on Cohen is worth the price of the book by itself.
Books in Canada
A page-turner.
The Hamilton Spectator
McQuaigs book will undoubtedly enrage large segments of society. Equally, many will suggest that she is right on and will probably flood the Department of Finance with copies.
Globe and Mail
A rave review for Linda McQuaigs Behind Closed Doors. Its a classic piece of investigative reporting.
Toronto Star
A stinging indictment of Canadas tax system and the people who shape it Whether you agree with her and many business people will find her ideas repugnant you cannot ignore her.
