Thread Name: BS: low hanging fruit
Subject: RE: BS: low hanging fruit
I've just finished reading a book by the British journalist, Francis Wheen, called 'How Mumbo Jumbo Conquered the World'. It's, basically, about all the crap that we've had to put up with in the last few decades: Free Market Economics, Post-Modernism, Religious Fundamentalism, New-Age Quackery and, of course, Management-Speak (source of the 'low hanging fruit' phrase). I recommend this book highly - although I suspect that it won't stop us all drowning in the never-ending tsunami of bullshit!
