Needs better editing
An ok book, but reads like a series of lectures. A bit all over the place in terms of content - some typical economists glossing over human tragedy to make a 'factual' point ( see the section on slums). Overall disappointed - got tired of the aim,Essenes of parts and left it half read. by Mark
