Critiques

an important work


(4 stars)

The reader does an excellent job of conveying the material with the authors voice. and conviction, and explains the Fabian views concisely on how to give society a flattop — no super rich, no super poor. Alas, the book ignores the power of individualism to create all the wealth the Fabians plan to re-distribute,and the incompetences of bureaucracy to create wealth in the first place.
