I think this book is an important and interesting read. But it does feel padded in multiple places, it feels like you read the same thing 3 times. Maybe this is because of inserted paragraphs in the new edition, or because of having 3 authors. It is a shame that an informative book like this feels that way

An interesting if overly cynical read. A bit too heavy on the economic determinism, but still entertaining.
