America in the Age of Instant Gratification
Nov 16, 2014StarGladiator rated this title 0.5 out of 5 stars
This is one of these monstrous, ephemeral, nebulous books which conveniently shifts the blame [bet this guy devours those TED talks] while either blatantly not understanding, or misrepresenting, the facts. [1] The author claims: /// today 70% of the economy centers on consumption \\\ which figure along MEANS NOTHING! It is the percentage responsible for the vast amount of that 70% consumption, which today is now less than the upper 15%! Not understanding or misrepresenting the causes for the global economic meltdown, which reaped billions of dollars of stolen wealth for the super-criminals behind it, doesn't add to the solution. Book rated worthless. Fundamentally, Roberts is one of those types who doesn't understand, or want to admit, that one-fifth of the US work force is laid off during each and every jobless recovery, or that it is all OUR FAULT!
