The book arrived in good condition and was a good read. I am satisfied with both the quick arrival of the book as well as its excellent condition. The content of the book was highly instructive.

Read through only one third when I realized I was wastng my time. Authors should stick to the subject. They would do well working with the New York Times.

The authors of this book are anxious to describe the follies and pure idiocy of our American History. It is pursued with an almost zealous irreverence. What are the solutions….the actions…. that politicians should take? If politicians listened to the authors in this book, then Presidents would do nothing but stand aside, and allow the world to take its own path.
The authors actually expose themselves by asking, “If democracy was such a good idea, why did people put up with other forms of government for so many hundreds of years?”
This comment, among others, reveals their disdain not just for America, but for democracy in general. These pious economists exercise their democratic freedoms on a daily basis. These very freedoms would not be available for them to abuse if our forefathers had actually believed this type of nonsense.

Very dull and boring. Mostly, 90%, is a history lesson of past empires. I would only recommend it to students who are economic majors. Can I have my money back!
