Although I agree with the message of the book and I truly believe that capitalism is the root of many problems, I don’t think that this book succeeds in achieving it’s goal: convincing people. It’s filled with unnecessary academic jargon which makes it incomprehensible for a lot of people. How are you going to convince people like that? Like many already noted: they wrote this for their peers. I’ve been studying political theory for 4 years now and even I struggled with it. The core of this manifesto is great, it just has to be more accessible for people that don’t have a background in political science/theory.

Couldn't do it.
If you write non-fiction, make it managable. Please.

I understand that this is critique of capitalism designed for a layperson. Great. But, was Marx’s Manifesto not also a critique of capitalism designed for a layperson? And when governments have tried to add communism to their own politically driven agendas, it doesn’t usually work out well. I know this review sounds angry; and I guess in a way it is. I want a critique that ends with a suggestion FOR a society that is not Utopia. I want a suggestion that is for working class Americans who have not been primed by higher education and deep understanding of capitalist fallacies.
Thanks for coming to my TEDtalk.

Na manifest to obsahuje dost žargonu a málo metafor se strašidly. Možná manifest pro 99 procent doktorandek sociologie by byl trefnější název.
