Smaller book with lots of graphs (which take up an entire page, and sometimes 2) and although it's a lot of information on something really super exciting like the U.S. Economy (sarcasm), it's fairly easy to follow the authors point and digest all those graphs. Good thing he explains them well because after the 10th or so graph I quit even looking at them because they all started to look alike and become more complex and the text tells you everything you need to know because all he's doing is using it to explain whichever point he is trying to make. I got a little sad a couple times about halfway through when I thought the author was some crazy right-wing lunatic (which automatically made me discount everything that I had agreed with up to that point). And then I thought if that were the case (which thankfully I detected that it was not) then I cant be that many degrees separated based on some of our collective thinking- since I was shaking my head all along while trying to absorb the complexities of the U.S. Economy and the inherently dumb shit that makes this government run so as far as I'm concerned I'm pleased that I read this book and feel a little bit smarter because of it. But I would never act like that to anyone else though. ( )
