Jacob Silverman, Ben McKenzie: Easy Money (2023, Abrams, Inc.) 4 stars

Good book about the negatives of crypto and pyrmid scams

4 stars

Really well told story, surprising how detailed it is without losing the reader. Would have been great for this to be released after the FTX trial, as it feels like there would be a lot more to say. The author doesn't push too much on the capitalism eating democracy but doesn't hide from it too. Especially like the story with his kids and red flags a the very end.

Bernie Sanders, Senator Bernie Sanders, Nichols, John: It's OK to Be Angry About Capitalism (Paperback, 2023, Random House Large Print, Diversified Publishing) 5 stars

Common sense in the era of big money and little values

5 stars

Bernie Sanders really makes the book extra special. Politically he speaks up for the working class and is a breath of fresh air in the political mess of America. There are also lots to take away for other countries where a 3rd party is never taken seriously. Well worth a read for all those who believe in real democracy not what capitalism has bent and broken
