Title: Duh
Product review: It is shocking that a professor who teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has chosen to write a book whose footnotes are not included therein. A quick examination of the footnotes exposes how incredibly lame most of the book's sourcing is. Thurow quotes himself a number of times, as well as The Economist, The New York Times, Fortune and The Boston Globe--and economists from commercial brokerage houses like Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. Very few academic sources are used.All that would be fine if Thurow came up with some earth shattering conclusions. But he doesn't. Listen to "Rule Thirteen: Luck is necessary. Talent Drive, and persistence by themselves aren't enough to get wealthy." For this I paid $27.50? You've got to be kidding.
