Is Enough Enough?

Hugh Farmar on J. K. Galbraith, The Affluent Society

If you feel troubled by society’s fixation on producing more and more stuff regardless of whether we need it, then The Affluent Society may offer some comfort. If you also labour in a dull job that does little for you other than pay the bills, this book offers some hope, albeit distant.

Ghosts in the Dust

Hugh Farmar on John Reed, Insurgent Mexico

John Reed is best known for Ten Days that Shook the World (1917), his classic account of the Bolshevik revolution. But where Ten Days rata-tat-tats like a telegram tapped out under gunfire, Insurgent Mexico slaps across a literary canvas lavish swathes of colour and furious heat and open-hearted characters and swirls them around till you can taste the dust, feel the sweat dribbling down your back and find yourself casting round for your horse, your woman and your gun.
