Title: Long on statistics, short on insight
Product review: Long on statistics, short on insight., August 29, 1999Rather dry. Not very much that you couldn't figure out by yourself; notmuch original insight. The author uses statistics throughout to thepoint that it almost becomes meaningless. Anyone with the most limitedexperience with statistics knows that you can make them say just aboutanything you want.What I had hoped for was some insight into why there is so mucheconomic disparity in this country and what we can, or should, do aboutit. Instead the author gave more of a status quo, "we are here,"appoach.The last chapter was maybe the most insteresting. It focused on theeconomic changes in the US since WW2. It is anybody's guess what thefuture will bring, but it seems like it will continue as it is nowuntil there is some big crash or other disaster.
