Let me start by saying that I wholeheartedly agree with all of the critiques of the american capital system that Doctorow raises and largely agree with his conclusions. This book has been poorly reviewed because those whom it critiques don't like being called out. I disliked the book because there was absolutely no character in the book. Marty is not a character, he is a person stuff happens around. Doctorow is a great writer, and I have liked much of his nonfiction, but this is a miss.
