Customer Review

This book is very interesting in the sense that it allows both to get an overall idea of ​​the principles for the development of societies, and brings quite amusing historical anecdotes.

That said, although the substance is coherent, the form is disastrous. Note that I'm not saying the sentences are incomprehensible or poorly constructed, far from it, but one thing really pissed me off when reading this book: the same things are hackneyed dozens of times (at least), and I do not exaggerate think that the book could have (the!) held in 300 pages instead of 480 without losing an ounce of substance.

In the end I do not regret having read it but he certainly is not going to last long at home.
