Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-12 00:00:00 Richard Lewis Sociological/evolutionary economics cloaks its banal descriptive histories in inappropriate metaphors and false explanations, eg. survival of the fittest.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-02-17 00:00:00 Rod Lee I forget if I mentioned it: This guy quoted Veblen, pretended it was from the Girls book, and got a people to say what a bad writer Dunham was. Well, you know, it's true. This is, like, turgid. And the points he makes, he could make better if he stopped being so . . . .elliptical is the problem? There is a problem. Anyway, there are kind of three parts to this: (1) What is science? (2) All these criticisms of economists -- both Marshall and Marx -- for missing important details; (3) a horrifying attempt to figure out the racial history of Europeans that is totally wrong and certainly offensive. I think it's alright but it's insufficiently clear.
