I thought was a easy read, (well, I listened but still) but I found the arguments to be a little too pat in some places. Liberalism in a classic sense has got some troubles as a philosophy, and as described I've heard about it from both sides. I used to consider myself fairly in the camp but it's embrace of technocratic solutions for political problems and siding with corporate interests over human ones has made me rethink it.
Interesting, and I would like to read some of the earlier books about liberalism due to this book, but I'll be honest it's probably going to slide off my brain pretty quick. Nothing brought up here is new or thought provoking to me.
