Title: He has GOT to be kidding!
Review: First, I agree that "Europeans spend more time with their mistresses" to be a ridiculous pseudo-fact. I disagree with the reader who said there was no point of view in this book. It leaned so far to the left it fell off my bookshelf! Finally, Luttwak's claim that the organized crime movement is the key to Russia's salvation, as the yakuza saved Japan and the mafia saved Italy, was just too laughable for words. On the plus side, I do agree with Luttwak that this "turbo-charged capitalism" has led to an increase in the gap between the rich and poor. Luttwak is correct to fear that this trend will only continue in the immediate future.
