On page 65 the author paraphrases Mayer Rothschild by saying "Allow me to write and control what people shall read and hear and I will make a nation of nit-wits and slaves or a nation of intelligent and free people." Adding "If finance were a simple problem people would understand it; but for that reason it is kept a very complicated process full of mystery using jargon to make it appear very intricate and capable of being understood only by the master criminals who have the world in their hands and are using interest as their only weapon." "The author has been in the homes of many millionaires thousands of homes of the middle class and slum areas.

Signed without inscription by Marshall McLuhan and Barrington Nevitt atop half-title page. "Marshall McLuhan is probably the most original theorist of the postindustrial world. No other contemporary social critic can match the daring of his imagination the sheer profusion and richness of his insights. He has been called 'the oracle of the electric age' and 'the sage of Aquarius'. Here he argues that the old natural order has been scrapped made obsolete by electric communications and satellites. To this end the executive will have to drop out of his/her old organizational structures whether these are in business the military the church the universities or government. Using brilliant aphorisms striking illuminations puns and probes the authors show how Nature must now be recreated as an art form." - dust jacket. "Written like a modern day internet blog which is exceptional considering the 1972 publishing date. A key takeaway is that with the introduction of each new technology there is a change in the 'rim spin' of the Earth in terms of information and networking.
