hopeful informative reflective fast-paced

---

I really loved the argument of this book - central planning is already in place and successful, but it exists to serve capitalistic ends using capitalistic means of production, rather than meeting the needs of humanity. Really well argued and very clear and accessible writing without a bunch of the jargon in many academic-y texts. Some of the examples were a little more detailed than I think were necessary to serve the author’s point, but it was only a small issue in the overall book.
