I'd take this to the Book Club Thread, but I can't seem to locate it anymore. Do we want one of those again or not? Also considered posting on Politics instead, but that would require me to sift through the Who Knows More About Other Countries discussion that's going on there.
I read it. It's good, but could have been shorter. Kind of like "Progress Paradox" by Gregg (Tuesday Morning Quarterback) Easterbrook
