Title: Several Factual Errors
Product review: This book contains a number of factual errors.To site a few:pg. 57 "Illinois Senator (and future president) Willian McKinley... When Frank Smith declared he would run against McKinley, Insull opened up his pocketbook and provided more than $25,000, a substanital sum in the 1920s." What!?! McKinley was from Ohio, not Illinios. He served in the House and as Ohio's governor. He was never a senator. And he was assassinated in 1898.pg. 119 "Eron... declared bankruptcy on December 2, 1997" Wrong. Enron declared bankruptcy in 2001.pg. 108 "providing energy payments from utilities that rose from 5.6 cents per kilowatt in 1984 to 10.1 cents in 1983 and even to 15 cents in 1998" Huh? that doesn't make sense. Did this book have an editor?There are way too many errors in this book to take it seriously.
