I really enjoyed this, I think it's honestly a must read for just about anyone. I realized while reading this I like nonfiction books that feel more based in fact and less fluffy / prose-y, and this definitely fit that bill! I liked learning about the history and it made everything feel far more informed when looking at the present day - but I also enjoyed balancing the history with modern day stories from people in these industries.
I think my only complaint would be, after a while the formula got a little old, but I think some of that ties back to history having so much overlap (shocker, Regan fucking suuuucks and he just didn't hate one industry, he hated em all! Same with Thatcher).
