Summary: Terrific
Review: I am very impressed at how Rick has made economics so easy to understand. I was very ignorant as to how economic policies effected me. After reading this book I am truly looking foward to learning more about our system. He also indirectly mentioned the company I work for in regards to a P&G (Protor & Gamble)issue. I can attest that he was on the money with his conclusion. I have long understood how much manipulation occurs within our political system. I just never thought that it effects our economic structure to the degree that it does!

Summary: Interesting but dullest of the original 9 book series
Review: I have to say that although I have been captivated by Mr. Maybury's books for some time, reading each one in order. I found this one interesting only about half the time. Wehn I got half way through it I lost interest. It seemed to be going over and over and over and over the same old stuff which could have been imparted in half the time and half the pages, and just plain got boring. It simply did not hold my interest like the first seven. After finishing it, I picked up the "Thousand Year War" a little apprehensively to see if Maybury had lost his flare after the success of his previous books, as so many do, sort of like movie sequals that never meet or match the standards of the original, and luckily found that it was back on track with interesting, coherent information taht once again had me wanting to finish it in one setting. Mr. Maybury needs to work The "Clipper Ship" over and could easily reduce it by half. Of course I enjoy his work and will order the two follow on books WWI and WWII to round out my collection. All in all, he has made me a little bit wiser with this series and I still recommend it (all of them) to anyone who wants to understand the competing "models" that exist in the world and what makes the world go round.
