Friedman?
Does anyone have any idea who this Friedman is who is referenced several times in the text? There is no book title, or any other bibliographic information ever given. I am not sure who entered all these notes, but they are not particularly helpful. Tomorrow, I will attempt to sort this out. If anyone sees this, and has some ideas, feel free to improve the article in the meantime. --- RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  00:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Having received no response to this question in the past two weeks, I am going to remove all of the "Friedman" references in the text and all assertions supposedly backed up by said references. If, at some point, someone can point to a book or essay, and provide page numbers and other pertinent bibliographic information, the references can be restored. --- RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  05:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It is just a typo: the source is Freeman, which was present in the references section, untill a smart republican moved it among the "external links".--SummerWithMorons (talk) 11:28, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say that it was a rather serious typo, a typo made worse by the fact that the citations were incomplete, with no title or page numbers given for the assertions made. Given those serious errors, I believe I was entirely justified in removing the information. ---  RepublicanJacobite  The'FortyFive'  23:35, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Sun Tzu and History of the Peloponnesian War
User:RepublicanJacobite, can you please add information about how History of the Peloponnesian War and Art of War are discussed in the book? Right now it just seems completely unrelated for someone who has not read The Society of the Spectacle (I haven't read it). Also, please enable editing of your talk page. 174.89.237.226 (talk) 01:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The classics of war strategy are major influences in Debord thought, and I recall that the SoS too was influenced by them. I don't have a ref mentioning this at the moment, but I'm sure a google search will reveal plenty.--Sum (talk) 15:08, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
