This book is an eye opener. I had generally thought that the peacebuilding and statebuilding efforts in West Bank and Gaza were obvious wins. This book provocatively argues that they aren’t even wins, but rather a manipulative set of incentives and market manipulations that end up working against the possibility of achieving a just political resolution. I’m not sure that I agree, but it’s a new perspective.

It’s reminiscent of Naomi Klein’s POV in The Shock Doctrine, which can probably be summed up as “the USA’s free market capitalism isn’t cool and it isn’t cool to rudely pretend there aren’t valid arguments that it’s not the best model for every society”.
