Revisiting Economic Man
Alexia Eastwood, STWR
Recent empirical studies suggest that people, far from being self-interested ‘rational maximizers’, have an innate tendency to share and cooperate. Could renewed scientific interest in the essence of human nature provide the building blocks for an alternative economic order?

The Age of Technofascism
Peter Crabb, Culture Change
It's unfortunate that the genre of the whistleblower books is not one that includes lots of titles. What could be more fascinating than the story of a person who was a company insider and is now an outsider, telling all? It's even more interesting when one can read about the internal workings of a powerful multinational company. These companies are secretive and their employees, even the disgruntled ones, are quiet out of fear of the company. In this Internet age, it's easier to be an anonymous whistleblower.

The title of Chip Berlet’s piece in the January 2009 issue of Z Magazine, “Brownshirt Anarchism, Bogus Journalism,” has nothing to do with the article. It is plainly misleading. There is nothing in the article about “brownshirt anarchism.” In fact, Berlet’s article has nothing to do with anarchism. It is mentioned briefly in the beginning to make some broad point without a single fact to back the assertion.
