This was eye opening and interesting. I knew some of this information, but it's quite a lot to take in. I appreciate the brevity and clarity in the writing.

Consult This!
This is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the consulting industry and its impact on businesses, governments, and economies.
Through extensive research and case studies, the author sheds light on how consulting firms often prioritize their own interests over those of their clients, resulting in weakened businesses and infantilized governments.
The book also highlights the negative effects of consulting on innovation, economic growth, and inequality.
While the book can be a bit lengthy and meandering at times, Mazzucato's well-organized and well-argued points make it a valuable read for anyone interested in politics, economics, or business.
Overall, the book challenges conventional wisdom and provides a much-needed critique of the consulting industry.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fresh perspective on this topic.
I for one, picked this book up due to some recent updates from my union - to learn more about this subject.
3.2/5

In the time it's taken me to finish this book, one of the authors may have tanked Argentina's economy. But hey, at this point, who hasn't? Still think the book was insightful, even if it dragged on a bit.

A trenchant and important look at the negative influence of modern consultancies and the damage this does at multiple levels.
