Review # 2 was written on 2015-08-06 00:00:00 Thibaut Nouveau I don't even know how I found this book or what circle it was recommended in. But it started off very academic. Very heavy in economics and political science and academic writings. It felt like she was arguing with libertarians why the libertarian philosophy isn't the answer to every single thing even though she considers herself libertarian. The good news is, every statement is backed up by research and well cited. Parts of it are hard to get through. But I appreciated the point that in order to fix the economic and political conflict in the world, you need to start by supporting families. And the way to do that is to set an example of love because you can't force people to be better you can just love and inspire. It was interesting reading the way she approaches love and the research behind how people become the way they do. And it made me want to discuss it but I can't find the people who recommended it to me. Summary: slow, heavy read, but fascinating. And she will offend people with some of her conclusions. But still interesting.
