    "Garbage"
    What would have made How An Economy Grows And Why It Crashes better?

    If it had been grounded in real economic theory instead of political fantasy


    What could Peter D Schiff and Andrew J Schiff have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    Not have written it so I woiuld not have wasted my money


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter D. Schiff and Andrew J. Schiff ?

    Some comedian


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    None


    Any additional comments?

    The argument of this book: we can go back to the wonderful days of the 18th century with a few extremely rich and everyone else very poor, if only we could abolish government (except for law enforcement.) The writers, like many right-wing extremists, fail to understand that in a world of so many firearms, their policies would lead to social revolution and the destruction of the very capitalism they worship.

    "If you believe in supply-side economics...."

    and other Cato Institute crap, you'll love this. Lots of theory based around a lame story of three guys on an island. i.e. no references to the real world. They bill it as a fun, entertaining story. It's not. It's dull. I could only get through the first three chapters. Bleech.

    "A Parable of Justification"

    I didn't mind the parables in the Bible. They made sense and seemed to fit life but this book's creation of a parable or story was nothing more then a justification for their political views. Of course everything makes sense in the story but in real life there are many other variables that come into play and there story either ignored them or glossed over them. I felt talked down to listening to this book. It did not open up my understanding of the economy or the way things work in our society.

    "Rubish"

    There is no option to rate this at a 0.

    The content is reasonable. However, the pronunciation of the reader is terrible. You might want to listen to the preview before buying to first determine if you can understand the nasal reader.
