Amazing book so far

This is a haunting look at a often overlooked horror. And what I never realized, is that fundamentalist free market Capitalism had more to do with the death toll than almost any other factor.

It is a gross miscarriage of justice that the boosters for such thinking get away with railing against their polar opposite for creating famines.

They are both equally terrible and starvation inducing, as far as I'm concerned.

This is a case study on conservative propoganda writing. I think it uses all the tricks in the book to whip up it's conservative readers into a frenzy, and push the authors ideology.

Words like "Progressive" is used again, and again, and again, and again to describe everything assioated with the media, Government, Democrats, and anything the author does not like.

So far, it's a 1/5, but I'll be finishing it

This book is excellent: it's a immensely readable collection of stories that shows that the madness if American politics is not a modern development. Truely, it's always been apart of American Democracy.

This book certainly is a page turner, even if I'm told that it glosses over some of the less flattering aspects of America's early Postal Service.

I think I actually hate reading this book, but think it's content and message is really important. Idk where that puts me in the score department.

Can I just skip to the chase and give this book 0 stars? It's central thesis that greater inequality creates greater Economic growth is wrong. Falso
Not true.

It's the entire glue that holds his argument together. Without it being valid the book is worthless.
