Super Informative

The scope of this book is incredible. I plan on listening to it several times just to take all of it in! The balance of power, and the nature of power itself is definitely changing very quickly! I recommend this to anyone interested in foreign relations, free vs regulated markets, or the role of authority in society.

High Hopes- Low Output

The premise of the book really intrigued me, and I was hopeful to really understand how power was shaped these days. However, I feel the book lacked flow and the narrative was just a lot of examples of power shift with no end in sight. I really struggled to get through the book, but did feel I enhanced my knowledge on some topics I knew little about.

Another Power book

The power of 48 Laws was enough an pretty much obvious, they speak on new power ending an forming but I think not.

Profound Manifestation

For a book written in 2013, the implications outlined have played out in 2023 nearly verbatim. A little scary, a little hopeful, but definitely intriguing how the 2016 election, the impact of widespread AI, the Ukrainian War and the Israeli war all are derivatives if the elements Moises described 10 years earlier.
