What is it about? I'm not up on "literature."

It's basically about how branding and how capitalism are corrupted

I'd like to read it. I have a few books like it I want to read, as well. The Corporation seems interesting.
I've just finished the Communist Manifesto, which I'm sure ties in in many ways...

Very good call man, The Corporation is the one my brother's recommending me! I really want to read it myself

I read No Logo but found nothing that a regular read of a newspaper and some common sense wouldn't have told me anyway.
Rebel Sell is much better but, again, anyone wandering into an Applestore or a Virgin Megastore will already know the score. And if anything, it's even more smug than No Logo. Not an easy feat to achieve.

Repping you if I can. The Rebel Sell really does go into a lot of material that I have already noticed No Logo doesn't cover. Especially how they expose how hypocritical it is that she lives in a loft and is so against consumerism. Lots of very good points made in it, especially by mentioning that by boycotting consumerism as a whole, just leaves your money to be spent by someone else. I'm sort of having the backwards approach by reading No Logo AFTER Rebel Sell.

I've seen people reading "No Logo" in Starbucks. Irony, anyone?

Haha, true. Although Starbucks DO purchase fair trade coffee now (you have to ask for it). Starbucks still remains a chain though, so it has a single CEO grabbing tonnes of undeserved cash. Bridgehead is where it's at. http://www.bridgehead.ca/ |
