Butler to the World: The Book the Oligarchs Don't Want You to Read - How Britain Helps the World's Worst People Launder Money, Commit Crimes, and Get Away with Anything:
"Cui Bono? Or The Butler did it?
If I don't do it, somebody else will." “Boiled down to its essentials, finance always does the same thing: it takes money from people who have it but don’t need it, and gives it to people who need it and don’t have it, " Read more of this review » |

| Pretty good. Won't spoiler, but he starts one chapter talking about the greatness of a particular judicial device for getting justice and then ends it talking about the unintended poor consequences of the same device -- very nice to see such even-han ...more | |

So nice to read a novel that can be enjoyed. Also nice to have a novel that obviously is describing some human features (in this case societal behavior) without "making a point" or preaching -- it's descriptive, it shows an aspect of how humans behave ...more |

The Golden Passport: Harvard Business School, the Limits of Capitalism, and the Moral Failure of the MBA Elite – How Elite Networks Shape the Corner Office:
"Listened on audio book and skimmed heavily.
Goodness knows there is a lot to critique about HBS and business schools writ large. But I think the author was in high school debate mode and throwing every argument he could at HBS, so there wasn't a good " Read more of this review » |

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

“Now imperfections and venial sins cannot take away the life of grace, for that can only be lost by mortal sin; it only remains, then, that they should not cause us to lose courage. Deliver me, O Lord, said David, from pusillanimity and discouragement. It is a happy condition for us in this warfare, that we shall always be victorious, provided that we are willing to fight.”
