Why is it necessary to put the phrase: "..and also as someone who makes the anti-globalisation movement more sexy." in the article? I have to admit Dr. Hertz is quite attractive, but I think the article should focus on her life, her books and her ideas, not her appearance.
RaF The comparison to Naomi Klein is silly, Klein is a doctrinaire leftist, Hertz is a serious academic who objects to some aspects of globalization but does recognize the benefit of the free market.63.205.151.68 22:01, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

- Wikipedia isn't making the comparison, the UK media is - that's why the sentence is written that way and has references. Also please avoid point-of-view statements e.g. calling Klein irrational and extreme Bwithh 02:55, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
"has written several popular books from that experience; Russian Business Relationships in the Wake of Reform, The Debt Threat: How Debt Is Destroying the Developing World, The Silent Takeover and IOU - the Story of the Debt"
This is highly misleading. Firstly, 'The Debt Threat' and 'IOU' are one and the same book. Secondly, 'Russian Business Relationships in the Wake of Reform' is a re-working of her Ph.D. thesis - not exactly a 'popular' book.
[edit] Centre-left?
I would describe her as more of a "compassionate-neoliberalist". 84.48.58.93 13:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
