I think this would be more interesting if the author talked a bit about cultural reasons for these idioms and less about "linguistic phrenology"

He's run out of idioms and now he's just repeating some of them

Some of these ones ALSO don't seem like they're idioms so much as they are

Man I wanted a book about idioms I did not want a 10 page (I counted) rant in defense of Adam Smith and Capitalism

Man shut the fuck up about long books taking too long to read your book is 270 pages and if you removed the weird pseudo-essays at the start of each section where you wax poetic about some dumb shit for 10 pages it would be 70 pages max

Idk man I just kinda think if you're gonna talk about how you think Adam Smith has been misinterpreted that you should have at least read the 500 page work if not the 900 page one.

Some of these I wouldn't necessarily call idioms
They're just translations of a phrase that means the same thing as the English phase but the translator chose to use slightly weird wording
