Disclaimer: I received this book free of charge from LibraryThing in exchange for an honest review.

Half the stories in this collection I didn't like, and the rest were simply ok.
On the plus side ... they did help me fall asleep.

Screwnomics: How Our Economy Works Against Women… door Rickey Gard Diamond

Not exactly my cup of tea, but did learn a few things, and the format was interesting. Not as dry as an economics book could end up being, and included some humorous portions.

Screwnomics: How Our Economy Works Against Women… door Rickey Gard Diamond

Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers.

Economics is a very big and very dry subject. “Screwnomics: How Our Economy Works Against Women and Real Ways to Make Lasting Change” by Rickey Gard Diamond tries to cut it down but it’s still a dry subject. At the end the book points out that white wealthy men control it all…

I would like to have had a mini cheat sheet on what we as individuals can do vs the government. The takeaways from the chapter are good and some of the questions to ask your friends are hard questions that you might need over a glass of wine (if you even want to try it).

There is some humor and comics but lots of history and some personal stories which does make it more real. But at the end of the day, it’s still a book about how the Economy Works.
