review 1: This is one (astonishingly experienced and inquisitive) man's interpretation of material he has accumulated through lengthy research and a long road to wisdom. It's not science - science doesn't have pictures on the front - but Howard makes his points with such ferocious support from case studies in comparable systems that your intellect is satisfied economics is yet another system that follows simple behavioural patterns.I don't see any governments directly employing these insights onto their economic strategy, though, its informal and enjoyable tone makes for subversive reading!
review 2: Definitely a very interesting take on the idea of capitalism actually is. Instead of looking at dollar figures, economic theories, or number crunching, Bloom looks at the p... moreremise of what drives human beings. He sets out to define our experiences and desires and how that leads to our decisions. He defines capitalism more in terms of our inner workings.Bloom spans across human history, from Jericho to Prince, from the 2008 economic crash to not just 1929, but to 1852 and even back to the 16th century. He brings up stories, analogies, and experiences that vary from business to biology to myth and more. If you are looking for a unique take on what drives humans to make decisions, our history, and how it connects, influences, and drives us and the economy, look no further. However, if you want a book that gets more to the point of capitalism and how it best works, I would recommend "Economics on One Lesson" by Henry Hazlit. less
