simonator's Reviews (183)

Ein Rundumschlag, der alle progressiven Econ-Trends besucht und verständlich erklärt. Manchmal geht dabei der rote Faden verloren und häufig macht der Autor nicht klar, wann er vom tatsächlich existierenden vs dem ratsamen Kapitalismus spricht. Trotzdem inspirierend und faktisch.

Convincing,  solid historical materialist argument. Could've benefitted from a lot more data and evidence, though, however rudimentary. Anecdotes were only briefly introduced. The essays were supposed to be short of course but more proof in place of reiterating already previously articulated points was still needed.

Read like a Bond movie, with all the good and bad that comes with it. Loved how muc h space to explaining Cybersynth was awarded. Characters remained one-dimensional. Would've preferred a historical dramatised retelling of the actual history instead of the pseudo-stylised version 

Touching and sad. The blues woven through the writing moves the soul.

Touching, but the plot lacks some oomph to be truly impactful. Too light on historical information for my taste; I would've liked to learn more. A great plus are the allegories and folktales that are peppered throughout. The characters are mostly very real and humanly flawed, though the young protagonist was a bit too clearsighted to appear truly believable.

Digestible and well-presented, so that you don't have to be 1000% switched on every time you read it. Incredible statistics and clear-sighted policy suggestions - mosty. Some are a bit strange and could benefit from some more pages. 

Lustig und anregend. Manchmal sind einzelne Plotpunkte etwas unglaubwürdig. Nette Referenzen zu historischen Dokumenten. Leider lernt man am Emde aber doch mehr über Europa als über die Inka, was mehr Mehrwert gehabt hätte.
