I hope this book is better than the chaotic and ignorant reviewer, who gets almost everything wrong in almost every paragraph. Including the absurd (if all too commonly held) notion that Adam Smith supported steep inequalities of wealth and power. Diametrically opposite to truth. Then there's his asserted notion that all of prehistory was a realm of fatuous agreement among pre-historians. That is a howler of unbelievable, credibility-damning hilarity.
