...need globally agreed restrictions, implemented through national regulation," says Emily Robinson, campaigns manager for Consumers International, which operates in 115 countries. If companies are left to police themselves, Robinson laments, they'll simply continue with the same minor initiatives announced so far. She adds: "We fear this piecemeal approach is confusing." Ask any parent in a local grocery-store aisle, and she'll probably agree...
...production costs compared with traditional textbooks, Flat World will likely have smaller margins and thus the start-up could struggle to attract more authors.

Produced and co-written by David Simon and Ed Burns, who took a similar approach to America's urban ills in the brilliant HBO cop drama The Wire, Kill is no fictional critique.
