Jennifer’s Reviews > Born in Flames: The Business of Arson and the Remaking of the American City > Status Update

I've been trying to slog through this, but I just can't finish it.
Very interesting times and ideas, but the writing is very dry and repetitive. Some things are repeated too many times, other things are mentioned once but never explained, and I give up.
The most interesting point I got was about Financialization- the shift from big money being made by merchants to companies with investments.
