Not Suitable for Audio

It's a very tough listen, especially without the graphics. It's way too deep and a boring listen.

I'm persevering but struggling hard to get any take away points. I'm learning more from reading the reviews.

Maybe more suitable for someone studying economics but as a casual listen I would avoid.

I've wasted my money on this.

Interesting insights but not really for audio

Interesting insights but not really for audio. Will definitely have to sit down for a proper read.
