    "The nineties will be a decade in a hurry; nanosecond culture.  There'll be only two kinds of managers; the quick and the dead."
David Vice, Vice Chairman, Northern Telecom

    Big business has a blunt message for Canadians : do with less.  Its leaders insist that Canada will have to make sacrifices if it is to survive in the brutal global marketplace.  Award- winning journalist Linda McOuaig exposes "Globalization" for what it really is - a massive con job perpetrated on Canadians by Brian Mulroney and big business.  Shocking and compelling, The Quick and the Dead is the story of money and power and the men who, in their quest for both, are redesigning Canada for the rich.

    "Read this book about Brian Mulroney and get angry .... The book is filled with solid reporting and excellent analysis and tells a story that is enough to make you weep."

Calgary Herald
