Talks about how investment companies rip off and destroy entire countries. He travels to Iceland to investigate the bubble and in the process tells you all kinds of trivia about what being in Iceland is like. He travels to a Greek monastery to investigate how monks ostensibly dedicated to poverty managed through political finagling to accumulate a huge fortune. He spends more of the book analysing the failure of Ireland’s economy. He has some some what crank stereotype-based theories on how the Germans got in trouble. He colourfully describes meetings with all manner of interesting people, including Arnold Schwarzenegger. He is a Republican. He does not notice it. He spouts Republican cant as if it were universally acknowledged fact. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
