Description: "This book not only thought-provoking, but a lively, spirited and entertaining read." - Winnipeg Free Press " (Nation of Rebels) is a thoroughly comprehensive history of the counterculture, which applies a rigourous logic to each example and exposes the consistent inanity of much radical thought... it's funny, engaging and a bit of a rebel sell itself, given that it's critiquing counterculture at a time when books about hegemony can be at the top of the bestseller list." - Toronto Star " I love it when a book comes out that crystallizes my random thinking on a subject. Without having done any of the research or writing, I can smack people on the head with its hard cover and say, "See? I was right." Such a book is (Nation of Rebels). Authors Joseph Heath and Andrew Potter argue convincingly -- and just snidely enough -- that while the counterculture purports to be a force against capitalism, it's more like oxygen feeding the fires of consumption." - Eye Weekly "An intriguing examination of personal freedom within the inevitabilities of a market economy." - Kirkus Reviews "Nation of Rebels provides an incisive and witty indictment of consumer trends...." - BusinessWeek
