Review title: Tough Read
Product review: This book was not meant for rabble or light weights. Mr. Thurow is a serious scholar with a serious piece of work, though his explinations are questionable. How, after all, is the fall of communism going to force a 4 day work week? Does the information superhighway really mean fewer blue collar jobs? Japan as the next great trading bloc? I don't think so. While scholarly in parts, it's hokey in other parts, and by the end, loses all continuity. It seems as though Mr. Thurow relies more on his reputation as a heavyweight scholar then he does reliable scholarship in this book. It wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Thurow was one of the few leading academicians still clinging to Marxism, because that's what this tract amounts to. Don't waste your time; go watch a re-run of CHIPS or something.
