Ouch. This is a bad book review: "The empirical information he provides is perfunctory at best. His command of Marxism seems limited. His historical reach extends to his own earlier works. His vast theoretical apparatus is jimmy-rigged and empty. The graphs are inane, the writing atrocious. To call this book dull as dish water maligns dish water."
I could this blog post as my reading list for the next sevreal months.
Check out the Reducing Inequality post which were recently featured on Crooked Timber. Recommended reading.
