Review title: Great potential, but only a draft of what it could have been
Product review: There were several intriguing points in the book "The Friction Free Economy," but none of the points were developed, supported or sufficiently documented. Lewis is an academic who presumably knows better; I think that he wrote this after long days at work, and it was never edited. The last two chapters are only a repeat of the first part of the book. I would recommend Grove's "Only the Paranoid Survive," Moschella's "Waves of Power," or Yoffie's "Competing in the Age of Digital Convergence" before this title- or Tapscott's "Digital Economy." Lewis just leaves you scratching your head, looking for the guts behind the fluff. It is an annoying book because of its laziness in supporting the potentially fascinating ideas. Lewis should rewrite it, and resubmit it to the public in a new form.
