    I found it to be one of the most revealing books, excellent insights on how the economics of the world works. I think its a great read for anyone willing to revise his / her world view of what makes the world go round.

    A very good non-fiction read, one you will remember for years to come!

    This was a good book b/c it encourages out of the box thinking. The drawback, I though the authors' answers for certain questions were over simplified.

    It is a grossly overrated book. There IS clearly a problem with looking at 'immediate past' events / phenomena to explain events, but these guys take the distant corrlation too far. In favt the further away you look for a causal lionk the more tenuos is the hypothesis. One is reminded of Balzac who said that "if you take a coincidence back far enough, it begins to look inevitable". So the key issue remains how far is right? And by just adding 'onomics' to create a psudo-scientific patina does not mean that the book succeeds in establishing a new analytical approach...it settles for merely collating interesting anecdotal material...
