Alt Right Rant

Revisado: 01-22-21

The authors want for the intellectual left to listen to the extreme right but they are intolerant of anything the left has to say.

Engaging and informative

Revisado: 07-29-20

Hard to put down. Engaging story line. Poetic language, however felt that some language was discriminatory of black people in Puerto Rico. A correction for the author: the Spanish language word "Mole" is of Nahuatl origin (Aztec Language) and not the creation of a Spanish cook.

Contradicts self

Revisado: 05-27-20

I was impressed by his book about the heart, but
In this one... the contradictions are ver difficult to swallow. He states that infections are good to train your immune system but that is exactly what immunizations do. He states there is no elevation of immunoglobulin in asthma, but immunoglobulin E can be elevated in asthma and allergies.
He mentioned Coley's toxins were good, but diphtheria vaccine does the same thing.
Sorry, I can not recommend this book

Informative, challenging and enlightening

Revisado: 04-09-19

Lots of information and perspective. The handling of immigration was superficial and naive since it did not include the history of intervention and exploitation of poor countries by powerful countries.

useful, practical advise but naive in some areas.

Revisado: 08-02-18

I enjoyed this book. I think the author's perspective is necessary for anyone who is interested in understanding reality, particularly when it comes to being able to interpret news, talks and opinions. He clearly lays the foundation that will be very useful for me in my pursue of understanding of reality in general.

Where if falls short is where he visualizes that the poorest people in the world will move up the social economical ladder just by hard work or just by the general improvement in "conditions". I think this is wishful thinking. I think that many of the new economy jobs are very different from the ones people had access to in the last few decades. Most employment now a days does not include benefits and many companies prefer to hire part time employees or use staffing agencies as a way to save money and the result is that people will be stuck in poverty.

I have great respect and admiration for this authors and for their work and their values. Unfortunately many of the people that own the corporations that own our economy do not share the same values.

Any additional comments?

It bothered me when he talked with so much enthusiasm about uranium and plutonium being used to make the atomic bombs that destroyed and killed thousands of people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He stated that the bombs ended the war, which may be truth but for the victims, particularly civilian victims this was nothing to be enthusiastic about.
