This provocative book challenges many of our ingrained assumptions about the direction of contemporary capitalism and offers fresh perspectives that will inform the development of a new and relevant political economy for our times. The complex and often contradictory world within which modern commodities are produced, sold and consumed is set within the larger context of transnational business and economic developments. The importance of factors such as profitability and globalization is highlighted, and a sophisticated analysis of the contradictions and ironies of the world of modern commodities emerges. Trinidad provides an ideal setting for this study, given its recent oil boom and recession and the subsequent experience of both wealth and poverty.

To Be a Pilot wins by its sheer presentation of what it means to be a pilot and to face often perilous situations in planes, with only one's native wits to carry the day. After reading To Be a Pilot, one thinks about flying differently, not just the small regional planes, but even the larger jumbo jets. Who is in front? What are they talking about? What kind of curve balls will be tossed them during the flight? How much are they letting us know?

The author is quick witted, observant, resourceful and engaging. He has a sense of irony, world-awareness, lack of naivety, whic
