I take issue with the way some statistics are presented in this book (ie, around male suicide rates. Men are more likely to complete suicide, but women are more likely to attempt) as well as the bioessentialism in the chapter about education.

But I found the statistics around class and race to be invaluable and they are putting a lot in perspective for me.
