“This is a popular book in content and in the style of writing. That is important. The general reader will not be drawn to or benefit from a painful read. … A primary objective of this book, along with nudging politicians and helping students, is to make some contribution to better public debate by appealing to the general reader.” (BookBrunch, bookbrunch.co.uk, October 8, 2024)
