This is the worst book I have ever read in regard to the economy, and the first book I’ve ever thrown in the trash the day I got it. Do not waste time or money. . It is undesirable. Rating: 5.1
I wish the authors had knowlegle of psychology / psychiatry, before I wrote this book. I expected this book to a relationship between economic tides (cycles) and to bipolar disorder (psychology) man. This disorder is also known as bipolar disorder in psychiatry. But in this book proves to be a complete disappointment for me. In other words, talk about everything, including immorality, without fremework. I really wonder there is someone who can sum this book? I certainly can not! Rating: 5.1
Marx would have laughed ci.Ces ideas have been installed there are 150 years.The book to read, of course, is Marx’s epic work “Capital” If this is very hard to beat “The invention of capitalism” Perelman. Rating: 5.1
The authors argue that they discovered something new is odd: what about Keynes, Mackay, and many others. And to even mention the money and credit creation in the book on spirits is clearly absurd. Rating: 5.1
Keep looking for the meat, you will not find much. Most comments are absurd. It was a great, a book for money. Good deal for writers, bad deal for you and me. Almost a feeling of common sense, as common sense seems like magic to the people in the ivory tower. Rating: 5.5
