Makes a few of fatphobic, classist and lowkey racist remarks in some places and smart, interesting notations on history in others. Made it a rollercoaster of a read. Also failed to recognize the israeli/british invasion of palestine. And completely ignores immigration and refuges in his analysis of peace. Also completely ignores the threat of climate change. These deliberately ignored subjects would give a more naunced take on his conclusions about the modern world.
