Mr. Segal packs quite the punch in this dense treatise packing the whole with examples from and connections between history, philosophy, economics, and sociology. While most of the arguments are of a humanist bent, not all proposals seem realistically achievable without major buy-in from society at large. Text flows seamlessly and wording is very clear. Mr. Segal does an excellent job of presenting his argument and supporting evidence, though some seemed a bit cherry-picked. This would make a great read for anyone studying economics or sociology or with an interest in entering the political theater.
