Editorial Reviews

Review

"An iconoclast of the best kind, Stan Cox has an all–too–rare commitment to following arguments wherever they lead, however politically dangerous that turns out to be. In this richly informative and deeply courageous book, he tackles one of the greatest taboos of our high–consumer culture: the need to consume less and to fairly share what's left."
―Naomi Klein, author of The Shock Doctrine

"Today, rationing is about as acceptable a topic of conversation as hemorrhoids. But that doesn't mean it isn't happening. In fact, we do it every day and our reluctance to admit it serves us poorly. From death panels to water wars, Any Way You Slice It explains with wit and sophistication how rationing happens. More important, Stan Cox gives us the tools to talk about rationing sensibly. And if we heed him, those conversations will not only be better informed, but might even lead to a better democracy."
―Raj Patel, author of The Value of Nothing

"A cool and cogent analysis of a taboo subject…a brilliant opening of a global dialogue on who gets what, when, why, and how."
―David W. Orr, Paul Sears Professor of Environmental Studies and Politics, Oberlin College

"The warning signs are flashing ominously everywhere you turn: warming climate, swelling populations, dwindling water supplies, rising food costs, a host of new deadly diseases, and a widening chasm between the super–rich and the destitute. The ecological crisis afflicting the planet has mutated into a savage political and economic crisis that threatens to erode the very foundations of human culture. Time is running out for incremental, piecemeal solutions to these looming global threats. In Any Way You Slice It, Stan Cox offers a way out through a kind of ethical and rational triage. He maps out a plan to ration the Earth's shrinking resources in a way that is socially just and ecologically sane. This brave book is not for the timid or those frozen by political taboos, but it is a must–read for those who want to forge real change before the ecological doomsday clock strikes midnight."
―Jeffrey St. Clair, editor of CounterPunch and author of Born Under a Bad Sky
