What I liked:
Based on solid research and data, tackles problems in a systematic approach, very insightful, easygoing and simplified, and the use of novels and historical pop-cult references to compres economic values.
What I didn't like:
He discussed 20th century economic way more than the 21st, even though I understand that we must look back to look forward but I'd have loved to indulge in more futuristic discussions and scenarios.
Who should read it:
Anyone interested in socioeconomics even without any previous background
1-line summary:
A progressive global tax on capital in the best way to reduce inequality.
Great book, backed by evidence-based medicine and large peer reviewed trials.
Everyone should read this book
Elon is an extraordinary man and anything short of a masterpiece is an insult to his work.
The book felt like a collection of articles and essays put together awkwardly. Vance had great material to work with but lacked creativity.
This book is the definition of mixed feelings.
I liked:
- The style; she alternated between giving a speech formal tone, and casual day-to-day tone which gave the book a relatable feel.
- Parts about empowering women, especially motherhood and the torturous path of a woman of color towards success.
- Parts about social change, especially female empowerment and diet changes.
I didn't like:
-Using the book as a platform to send political hits, even tho she mentioned continuously that she didn't believe or is not actively involved in politics.
- Making petty comments trying to defend herself against past political attacks.
- Not enough vulnerability, when needed. Don't get me wrong, I know she's a strong woman, but if we wanted to hear about achievements or moments of strengths, we would've watched the news.
