Book Reviews of the Bad Money: Reckless Finance, Failed Politics, and the Global Crisis of American Capitalism
Customer Review: Bad Money
Summary: 2 Stars
I have bought my share of books from Amazon over the years, and yet have never written a review before. Most of the books i bought were excellent, yet some weren't. However, even for these duffers, I never felt compelled to write a review. So what made me write my first review for this book?
Two words: OBFUSCATION and FRUSTRATION.
"Bad Money" isn't bad, it may even be great, if reading it weren't so darn difficult. I found Mr. Phillips writing style burdensome. I was left with the distinct impression that Mr. Phillips was more interested in showing others how intelligent he was, instead of making sure he communicated his ideas clearly.
Maybe others will not have the same opinion as I did, and I do not want to persuade others from buying the book. I just wished he wrote a little more like Ernest Hemingway, and less like William F. Buckley, Jr.
