This Review Haiku might be a bit niche…

Flawed but full of truth.
Pity Wolf went full crackpot.
I’m team Matthew Sweet.

Astoundingly written and sadly still very applicable to today’s society. Must read!

good if you're writing an essay and need some examples, this book is filled with studies, statistics and just a lot of examples, that's it

i wanted to like it very much,like you know, very much but i ended up bored by the middle of the book because it's just so filled with data, i was tired

though it's almost a 20+ years old book, i find it relevant and some facts still very true nowadays

also: marxist-feminists will love it, it's talking about capitalism as its finest

Misinformation. 

After years of Wolf’s intense decline into conspiracy, I find this book hard to stomach regardless of its initial impact.

written decades ago but still very relevant today. reading this helped me become aware of so much that we experience that we need to change. we haven't come as far as we'd like to think.
