Review of 'Skin in the Game' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

I have had to stop reading this book after around 35%. The whole presumption of the book - people tend to make the best decisions when they are directly effected by then - sounds interesting.

However, the author goes on, raging about the "inerventionistas", trying to cause a they-against-us argument, without explaining the why and how.

The whole book seems to be written for people who already agree with the authors view. Therefore, for someone who likes to have their views challenged, it is definitely not worth reading.

Add to that the fact that the whole book seems to be a random assortment of texts that have never been meant to add up to a full book and you end up with something completely unreadable.
