Review # 2 was written on 2014-12-01 00:00:00 Kelampiran Legion This book is a rant against anti-capitalists. It's repetitive and makes many false assumptions about them (while giving no satisfactory answers to why it does that). According to the book, all poor people had equal opportunity to be as rich and famous as anyone else, but they ruined it because they were worthless. And if not so, it's not fault of capitalism, but because it's not implemented in an absolute way. The book also says that all the technological advancements have been possible only because of capitalism (notice no mention of implementation or increased human understanding of physics here). There are so many such contradictions and hypocritical statements that i don't even want to go into all of them. This was mostly load of crap. Biased and with a tone which would make you cringe.
