Deep Disappointment

Revisado: 03-15-25

Icing and little cake. I was expecting a serious book on the history of capitalism in America. This book isn't it. The authors present the material like a politician speaking to kids in school. It doesn't have sufficient analysis or detail. Audible has better listens in both economics and history.

Great History with Great Analysis

Revisado: 03-15-25

I really enjoyed this book. The author goes through the historical events, key people, and how monetary policy was implemented. Recommend to everyone with a history or economics interest.
The only criticism I have for the author is he covers a period of history where technology changes. He didn't indicate how the invention of the microprocessor, desktop computers, or semiconductors affected the monetary policy thinking. I hope he will produce another book discussing this in his future books.

Excellent balance of history and technology.

The book covered the history of the semiconductor industry and provided reasonable explanations of the science behind each change. Strongly recommend.

Very Good Listen

Revisado: 11-03-24

The author made a wise choice to do the voice work for Audible. The Book gives the listener the complete story about Labour's election victory.
I hope the author will consider doing another book about how the UK media works during an election. She explains towards the end about the effect of false videos shrinking Labour's expected vote. Her background is ideal. Looking forward to her next work.

If You Have No Interest in Auto Racing

Revisado: 10-23-24

This book is for you. I enjoyed the history of the sport presented in this book. I enjoyed the discussion of the engineers and engineering. I enjoyed the business analysis of the sport. I enjoyed the characters like Enzo Ferrari. If you are someone who enjoys the subjects history, economics, strategy, technology - this book is for you.
Prior to reading this book, I agreed with comedic legend George Carlin who explained that watching people drive in circles doesn't impress. The authors impress. The voice used to present the book was an excellent choice.
This would make a good program for the history channel like Chernow's Grant.

Excellent historical analysis of UK political and economic issues.

Revisado: 09-15-24

This book goes through all the relevant history of the problems the UK has had. The author explains his recommendations for change like a sovereign wealth fund and pension reform. It was a smart choice to start the book off with a discussion between the author and Alistair Campbell.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes UK politics, economics, and is looking for ideas for change.

Excellent Listen

Revisado: 07-27-23

I really enjoyed listening to the explanation of the WTO. I wish someone would take a similar approach with the EU, CPTPP, USMCA, and other trade situations to inform the public. Thank you to the author and the narrator.

Terrible audible version of a good book

Revisado: 07-24-21

Don't buy this for audible. Only first chapter would play for me in my audible library. Actual book is excellent.
