Wow. The above says a lot about the quality of Harvard education.

Everyone (lurkers included) should immediately buy Michael's book + post
comments on Amazon and everywhere. Comments should be unstinting in praise
as Lin Bao's preface or Murray's review of the MacGregor book on Hegel.
Something like "Michael Perelman's indictment of capitalism is all the more
damning for its subtlety and elegant precision. A plethora of wideranging
sources from diverse disciplines quoted in the book puts to shame
run-of-the-mill economists' math envy."
