My biggest issue with this book is that, while a large step in the right direction towards respecting individual autonomy and self-determination, it’s still a prescription for how to make “them” more like “us”

I do not appreciate the large, sweeping, reductionist claims the authors tend to make throughout the book. Of course we know that economic poverty is endemic throughout the world, but making observational claims about WHY it is so, and offering hypothetical situations as evidence - for example: “looking at border guards in action” (p 72.) - without offering citation is wholly irresponsible.
