So damn good… she had me hooked and coming back to listen (to the audiobook) whenever I had a free moment, which is often hard for me with non-fiction books, much less one about economics! This has been in my TBR list since 2020 and I’m ashamed it took me so long

Klein masterfully ties a lot of seemingly disparate events together in a clear and understandable way. Since so many of the events she describes happened either right before I was born or when I was a small child, I am grateful to have this context, since I didn't learn most of this in school. I only wish that she had commented more on the role of trade agreements.
