Good topic that doesn't get talked about enough.
Revisado: 09-10-20
Good tooic that doesn't get talked about enough, but it gets preachy in the last couple of chapters, and the authors are determined throughout that immigration is the only thing that can help (kind of the whole point of the book) even though the book thoroughly discredits this approach over the long term. There should have been more avenues pursued that could lead to a sustained Goldilocks stage.

Historia
The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of unemployment. Not in the distant future - now. One recent estimate predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within the next seven years - jobs that won't be replaced. In a future marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Thought provoking
Revisado: 04-08-20
There were a few chapters I thought seemed unrealistic, but overall an excellent read and a plausible view of the future.

Historia
Ancient Faith has produced a fresh update and redesign of a book cherished by a generation of seekers. Written in an accessible manner for the average lay person, Orthodox Worship offers insights into the Orthodox liturgy. Early Christians preserved a continuity of worship from the Old Covenant to the New, employing elements from the Jewish Temple liturgy, the synagogue liturgy, and the rituals of the Jewish home.

Pick a different one.
Revisado: 04-02-20
Pick a different one, mostly just opinions and claims without real support. If all of the claims had been supported or omitted, it would have been alright, and a lot shorter.

Historia
What causes poverty? Are economic crises inevitable under capitalism? Is government intervention in an economy a helpful approach or a disastrous idea? The answers to such basic economic questions matter to everyone, yet the unfamiliar jargon and math of economics can seem daunting. This clear, accessible, and even humorous book is ideal for young listeners new to economics and to all listeners who seek a better understanding of the full sweep of economic history and ideas.

Broad, thorough, and entertaining.
Revisado: 10-30-18
Broad, thorough, and entertaining, this book doesn’t get bogged down too long in any one area, and chases rabbits only as far as useful without getting lost or off topic. A great foundation to economics.

Historia
The best-selling author of Big Data is back, this time with a unique and in-depth insight into how specific companies use big data. Big data is on the tip of everyone's tongue. Everyone understands its power and importance, but many fail to grasp the actionable steps and resources required to utilise it effectively. This book fills the knowledge gap by showing how major companies are using big data every day, from an up-close, on-the-ground perspective.

Horrible fake accents, but a great book.
Revisado: 02-05-18
After 27 chapters of quoting people from all over the world in his normal voice, in chapter 28 the narrator decided to do a terrible Texas accent which hurt my ears and made me think that he hates all Texans. He should’ve found a Texan to read the quote or left it alone, it is hard to listen to. Texas wants an apology.

Historia
This book tells the story, for the first time, of the United States government's response to Guevara's ill-starred insurgency in Bolivia in 1967. Henry Butterfield Ryan argues that Guevara's life must be re-evaluated in light of secret documents only recently released by the CIA, the State Department, the Pentagon, and the National Security Council.

Good coverage without politics
Revisado: 10-12-16
Good coverage of material and facts without getting lost in arguments. I think this book would be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their feelings about Che or the CIA. I think it was fair and not meant to politicize. Very interesting.
