Powerful! I have accepted the "Red Pill" in a higher dose. I will never be the same again, but will transform into a better self.

An extremely interesting book. It is a political look a the state of the world (or rather America) with a psychological slant.

There was one theoretical error confusing productivity with surplus value:
Productivity is how much socially necessary labour time is necessary to produce a given product.
Surplus value is a more scientific measure of profit. It is the difference between total costs and total income. It is the value taken by the capitalist from the total value of the labour expended.

I totally recommend the book!

Facts about our world that will make you gasp and shake your head in disbelief. Rosenthal will make you reconsider everything you thought you knew as she leads you on a journey through American society. Be careful. What you thought was right and just turns out to be a shell game and what you thought was wrong turns out to be not so bad.
