Must Listen

Revisado: 08-18-23

This 20 hours went by so quickly....... shows how normal people can become evil due to ideology.... very relevant in the current climate of Race Marxism (Critical Race Theory).... society can degenerate and there is untold evil . bland banal evil cowing the population... narration is excellent with an interesting surname.

First half is ok but second half should be neutral

Revisado: 02-05-23

First half is ok but the second half is a generic western biased propaganda narrative, no mention of documented far right groups infiltrating elements of Ukrainian government and military. No mention of the Wolfovitz doctrine or nefarious activities of Victoria Nuland and company. Delivery is clear but quirky in what the author / reader may regard as an exclusive high status accent. I still enjoyed it as it is a nice summary in the first half and insightful of the author's social circle's perceptions in the second half. A murderous Russians soldier is decribed a 'runtish, dim, pathetic', not sure she would have used this language if the guy was female so seems to be emotionally self indulgent when she thinks she won't be called out for it. He was being jailed for murder, not for failing to arouse the author. Also she forgets the civilians killed by Ukainian shelling in the Donbass from 2014-2022. Just because the Russians have done bad things, we should not be expected to think this makes the Ukrainians good.

A vital classic in the current world

Revisado: 12-15-22

This book is almost urgently important in the modern world where there are fewer and fewer people who have first hand experience of the totalitarian idiologies in the 20th Century and the misery it spread........ a classic and inciteful book with obervastions of the true believer's actions and motivations, an aspect of human nature that may help you to understand how geopolitics in the world around us may develop.

Must Listen Geopolitics

Revisado: 09-12-22

It explains basic concepts in geo-politics you must be aware of. Listened in 2019 and echos in the 2022 Russia - Ukraine conflict analysis are striking.

Repetitive and narrow minded

Revisado: 12-31-19

Some elements of his ideas are of course universal like equal opportunity for all and that billionaires are biased and live in a bubble. However claiming Trump is a racist or white supremacist as he is against illegal immigration is self indulgent adolescent narcissism. The author is as biased as a news anchor and the premise of the book is spread too thinly over too many chapters. I think billionaire philanthropy being an ironic contradiction in terms was probably already obvious to most people. Good to listen to if you want to hear what the 'woke' think, and increasing opportunities for middle and working class Americans is something I think most people agree on.

Fantastic

Revisado: 05-09-19

Ben provides a clear analysis of how our Western culture did not develop in a vacuum but draws on ancient heritage going back to Athens and Jerusalem. How those who reject this heritage are often the unknowing beneficiaries of it and how some new philosophies that reject our heritage are never the less hugely influenced by it. Very enlightening , great references to philosophers to look up, good observations of current trends in social science and culture wars in the USA. 5 stars.
