The Great Deformation

Listener Reviews

   It's a sad, sad story

   Would you listen to The Great Deformation again? Why?

   No, this is a tough read and seems to get repetitious. I will definitely listen to select bits again, but not the whole sad story of betrayal.

   What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

   The sad fact is that it seems to all have the ring of truth. True capitalism has been assassinated by the crony capitalism version favored by government.

   What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

   Low interest rates have corrupted the price finding mechanism of the market.

   Any additional comments?

   At the end of the book, Stockman makes some recommendations as to how the train wreck might be averted. However, everything he proposes leaves you thinking, "Yeah right, that will never happen."

   Should be a required read by all students!

   First, I have to say it's a bit long and David repeats himself a couple of times. But the description of political processes and why things happened in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and now is instrumental in understanding what the issues are, why we face them, and how to change so this country can survive. You can't possibly understand the complexity of the political issues and financial troubles we have, until you read or listen to this book. Great job David!
