Review of 'Confessions of an Economic Hit Man' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

The book itself was pretty bad. The writing was poor, the facts simplistic and the posturing of the author wore thin pretty quickly. And the pedantry of the final chapter was a bit hard to take. But there was plenty to discuss about what the book touched on - the effects of globalization and the return of robber-baron style capitalism; the insularity of the average American and their disinterest in what might be happening in the rest of the world.
