Great book

Revisado: 04-11-25

Insightful, well written and read, funny, honest and utterly revealing about the dangers posed by these very powerful and somewhat naive major influences on our lives - the social media technology companies. We like using their products (which they know) but they then use that opportunity to abuse our data to enrich themselves whilst seemingly ignoring the potential adverse impact their products sometimes (often) have on our mental health, our young ones and our communities. A long term solution is long overdue across the world to curb their power and influence

Breadth of research

Excellent book worthy of the top shelf of every home history library. Brought to focus the fragility of the age-old challenge of rising versus established powers.

The most comprehensive, insightful straightforward and uncomplicated history of the evolution of money and its impact on our world that I have ever read or listened to. A must for the library

Whatever I thought I knew about the adverse impact of British Imperialism on other nations was revealed as wholly inadequate and incomplete by this excellently well researched and narrated book. Very enlightening and thought provoking. I look forward to listening to Empireworld in due course.

Tells a message we all need to be aware of

This is the second of Richie’s books I have listened to and, again, this is of the highest quality and extremely well-researched. A book about economics that I actually listed to from beginning to end. That takes some skill

Deeply researched book

Revisado: 08-16-24

Loved the breadth and depth of the book, both in terms of (i) the period covered (before and post the common era) and (ii) the number of countries analysed. This is just an excellent and definitive book that focuses (thankfully) on praising the elements of African history that Africans should be proud of rather than blaming the current condition of the continent solely on its slavery and colonial past. Well done Zeinab. Very proud.

Excellent storytelling

Revisado: 05-31-24

This is clearly the story of a rabid narcissist who, with all his faults has made some truly amazing achievements but unfortunately, and unnecessarily, at the expense of many people’s hopes and dreams. Despite his maniacal attention to detail and deep knowledge of the subject matter of his many companies, he could not have achieved anything without the sacrifices made by the many heroes who worked for him over the years, most of whom barely got a mention or praise from Elon except his family members. These types of leaders and their leadership style is a sad indictment on the state of American corporate governance and sound management.
