How does bin Laden or Chavez come across the book and why do they think it will add legitimacy to their argument?
Tariq Ali told me that Chavez had read some of his novels. Joe
Stiglitz, whom I had a chat with shortly after he met Chavez, was
impressed with the guy’s intellectual curiosity, too. Incidentally,
Stiglitz is promoting his latest book, and on the Lopate show in NYC
and also at the book launch party in NYC the other night, he was
praising Chavez’ policies pretty strongly.
