Originally saw this on Musk’s Twitter.
I’m already sold on the thesis. What I was hoping for was some new perspectives on the ‘morally right’ part, or explanations of non-obvious mechanics that make capitalism so successful. Instead you get chapters full of stats on just proving the success and not much more.
Would not recommend. If you’re interested in this area, I think Capitalism without Capital: The Rise of the Intangible Economy is an excellent alternative. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind would be further away from capitalism but in the same abstract area.
