In All You Can Eat, Linda McQuaig explains the mired history of social and economic thinking that has culminated in the New Capitalism. As always, she explains her subject with vivid characters and telling vignettes: There's Joseph Stiglitz, an embittered former chief economist for the World Bank whom she interviews in a dark parking garage in Ottawa; John Kenneth Galbraith, perhaps Canada's greatest native-born economic thinker; and most moving of all, Karl Polanyi, a lovelorn refugee from pre-war Vienna who ended his days in Toronto, his brilliant ideas for social justice ignored in his adopted country.
