The Trading Game by Gary Stevenson

dark emotional informative slow-paced

4.0

I was expecting something more data driven and informative. I don't know why. This was a confession as the title clearly states. It was a charming story. I think this medium is more approachable for a large and diverse audience. It's a simple message, and an important one. You did it Gary, you did something.

I read the academic criticism. It was as accurate and pedantic as I had hoped. Read this book if you don't have a Ph.D. in Anthropology or Evolutionary Biology.
