Cool but too short and somehow superficial
4 stars
The book has a nice overview of ideological elements shared by right-wing pundits and cryptocoin evangelists, but it's too short. I felt the author sometimes ~sliding~ in his argument and oversimplifying things. This may be due to the nature of the collection, though. Overall nice, will def. look for more stuff like this. i love the NEOLIBERAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS genre.
