Excellent, well explored and articulated thesis

Revisado: 12-01-23

Military histories like this usually put me to sleep. This is not the unoriginal, wandering, tome that lacks a clear thesis that is most of this genre . I’m a poor source to evaluate this piece, but the premise is clear and well argued

Better than title, esp the later chapters

Revisado: 12-12-22

Lots of delightful detail throughout, but this story really works later when it backs in to Leaning In IRL.

Some low key palace intrigue for folks who like that, and some front row stuff on the last 20 years of econ policy, but the novel value add here is the family story, which goes from what feels like a clunky editor’s ask I. The first 2/3 of the book to a really clean through line in the last few chapters. The family story is well developed but may not be perfectly self contained. If you’re familiar with Yellen’s academic career and her closest coauthor, there’s a lot of interesting texture here that you won’t find elsewhere, and it’s v rewarding to read.

Too many bios

Revisado: 03-31-22

This is a great topic that the authors clearly know well, but somehow an editor managed to turn this into a series of short biographies about the (sometimes quite interesting) lives of prominent commodity traders. Was hoping for more structure and geopolitical discussion than a series of vignettes, but editors love personalities and narratives so this is much less informative and interesting than hoped.
