    Superficial, one-sided, propagandistic
    I'm not a fan of neoliberal capitalism. So, interested. Haven't read the book, and afterwards feel completely uncompelled to do so. Maybe because I'm old ^^.

    "Everybody wants to sell what's already been sold And everybody wants to tell what's already been told What's the use of money if you ain't gonna break the mold?" - P. R. Nelson

    There, I saved you the watch-time and totally mangled history-facts. Geez, my mind is still spinning from the spinning...

    This is - I don't know what this is. A jambled mess. Painting a dystopic picture but in a fear-mongering way. The solution offered is 1 minute long (tax the rich). Not the worst of ideas, but by the time we get to it I was so annoyed by the sweeping and silly superficiality of it that I wanted to protest the idea just because I felt like protesting anything they said. How they handled the start for WW1 was - ridiculous. Just to mention the one point.

    Waste of time.
