Leonard J. Reibstein

9/10

Revisado: 08-22-22

The central thesis of this book, concerning the rise and fall of political orders, is well born out by the history that Gerstle sketches. There are a few factual errors, questionable takes, and the curious omission of neoconservatism, that keep this from a perfect score, but the bottom line is that the author understands the currents of political history and has crafted a book that will stand alongside the work of Naomi Klein, David Harvey, and Thomas Frank in dissecting the neoliberal project.

Well worth the wait

Frank was ahead of the curve in predicting the return of economic in political discourse. It’s funny that this book, the key to all of what he’s written since, was the last to come out in audio format, as it becomes a conclusion as well as a thesis. This work is just as relevant 20 years on, especially as the trends it describes have all progressed (so to speak).

The intro drags, but otherwise perfect

If you haven’t read this, you should. If you have, you should again. The narrator does an excellent job bringing this one to life.
