Cheap propaganda

Revisado: 06-14-24

Where is the Michael Lewis of Liars Poker, Moneyball and The Big Short? This book is just an homage to the administrative State. Just like in Premonition, Lewis lends his awesome writing skills to our Washington overlords. Really sad. I tried to return the book but Audible didn't allow it. Lost a credit.

Economics as it should be taught

Revisado: 10-27-23

It’s a shame that Economics is still taught in universities with Keynesian text books and the subject is treated as a natural science. Econometric models with negligible coefficient of determination are forced down students’ throats. Saifedean’s book is more useful than a full mainstream Economics course. Strongly recommend.

Another Awesome book by Professor Saad. It would have been even better if narrated by the author himself.

Essential book!

Professor Rectenwald delivers an important message to both academic and lay audiences.

The narrator could have been a little more diligent to find out the correct pronunciation of Foucault, Derrida and Mises.

A full course of history of economic thought in just 9 hours. Excellent. Economics students should really read this.

Masterpiece

Absolutely fantastic. Same league Gulag Archipelago. Too bad this book is not taught in schools. The horrors of communism/socialism are not different from nazism. Maybe even worse given the proportion and duration.

Excellent book. Monetary theory put simply, yet with all necessary rigor.

I just didn’t like the narrator switching to a fake British-like accent in every quote, even when quoting American individuals.

Pure propaganda

Revisado: 09-23-21

Very well written, as all of Michael Lewis’s books, but the political bias is very obvious. The author does everything to justify the pseudo science behind social distancing and lockdowns. Reminds me of the argument used to defend fiscal or monetary stimulus: “just do some thing, if it didn’t work, you just didn’t do enough of it.”

The weirdest thing is that he acknowledges the governments’ total incompetence to deal with a crisis as serious as the one we just faced. But then what does he call for? More government!

Unf***able book!

Revisado: 08-26-21

Excellent book! The logic is
Irreproachable. But the narrator makes a mess with the numbers. 500 years instead of 50, millions instead of billions and vice-versa.

Very good book, but somewhat confusing

Revisado: 06-21-21

Great book. The chapters on California and banking are outstanding.

But the author is so concerned with criticizing anyone that diverges even slightly with him that sometimes misses the big picture. His analysis of the Austrian school is flawed and doesn’t recognize the entrepreneur’s central role.
