MixedThe Guardian (UK)At some point you expect Stevenson to inject some self-reflection into the narrative ... That point never comes. Instead, Stevenson spends 400 pages fulminating against everything and everyone ... This is a well written and often darkly funny book that makes a convincing case that high finance is as toxic, reckless and deeply cynical as ever. It is fantastic that Stevenson now uses his understanding of economics and high finance to campaign against inequality. It falls short as a confession, though, lacking any real introspection, let alone repentance or the making of amends.
