Critiques

Game changing book


(5 stars)

What at first seemed a robotic voice later fitted the text in my opinion (pardon the pun). Thanks a lot for making this available. This is an excellent example of where audio books excel in enabling re-listens to difficult or dense subjects.

gives good insight into the unique mentality of people under democracy. sites works rather than claiming ideas as his own. reports historical facts and stitches together a dynamic and thorough understanding of the topic. Bravo Mr Lippmann
