jonahsaisquoi 's review for:

The Dictator's Handbook: Why Bad Behavior Is Almost Always Good Politics by Alastair Smith, Bruce Bueno de Mesquita

2.0

---

Some interesting ideas and frameworks but buried by broad claims, hamfisted history, suspicious methodology and example choice, and an overwhelmingly preachy, smug tone.
Maybe compare and contrast with Matt Kroenigs book.
