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."
Check out the Reducing Inequality post which were recently featured on Crooked Timber. Recommended reading.
I could this blog post as my reading list for the next sevreal months.
