Consumed : how markets corrupt children, infantilize adults, and swallow citizens whole, by Benjamin Barber

This was fantastic. I read it a while ago, and it never made it onto the list, but there was one set of dualities, outlining the differences between childhood and adulthood that I loved, and wanted to save for myself.

Child / Adult
Impulse over Deliberation
Feeling over Reason
Certainty over Uncertainty
Dogmatism over DoubtPlay over Work
Pictures over Words
Images over Ideas
Pleasure over Happiness
Instant Gratification over Long-term Satisfaction
Egoism over Altruism
Private over Public
Narcissism over Sociability
Entitlement over Obligation
The Timeless Present over Temporality
The Near over the Remote
Instantaneous over Enduring
Physical Sexuality over Erotic Love
Individualism over Community
Ignorance over Knowledge

so well said.
