Reviews

an important work


(4 stars)

The reader does an excellent job of conveying the material with the authors voice. and conviction, and explains the Fabian views concisely on how to give society a flattop — no super rich, no super poor. Alas, the book ignores the power of individualism to create all the wealth the Fabians plan to re-distribute,and the incompetences of bureaucracy to create wealth in the first place.

Appreciate the help


(5 stars)

As a dyslexic person that looks at weighty topics that have deep roots in politics and philosophy, readers like this are golden to us. A natural reader who can understand the author and audience equally well has the capacity for so much more. Sound balance is spot on without asmr type mouth noise, and no strained inflections. A good pace also. Well done and thank you reader.

very informative
