I feel my comprehension for this book was around 15% so it feels harsh to review it too critically - I think this was because it was a lot about contemporary politics and economics, which is not something I know too well. However, some of the ideas about money seem just as relevant today (the comment about machines meaning we would all be working only 4 hours a day by 1900 hurt).
