I sez:
This comes as no surprise. Have you read his trademark stuff? It's even more
vintage late 90's globaloney than Sassen's late 90's stuff, with evasive post
modern wordplay substituting for empirical facts and thoughtful analysis.
PS Back in the day, Sassen did good urban political economy. _The Global City_
is a standout. But every time I've seen her mount a dais the last decade,
she mostly awes a mostly naive and/or apologetic audience with rhetorical
gymnastics lacking material referents. Let's hope that with the Clinton
restoration such soi disant intellectual fashions are not themselves restored.
