First, probably nobody on these reviews has actually read the book. Amazon is out of stock on it because it was written in 1978. It's hard to find in libraries but you can have one use the lending system if you want to give it back in a couple weeks. The free downloadable PDF version available through Stanford University Press only lets you have every other page, so it's essentially worthless. Second, people saying the book is being hidden or you can't buy it are either clueless or lying. I ordered it from Barns & Noble for $49.99 plus tax. To read this book effectively you need a graduate school level vocabulary, enough familiarity with several schools of economics theory to handle the nomenclature, & a dedication to slow, steady comparative research that you'll use to do some additional background study on other economist authors that he references, not to mention the willingness to review a healthy percentage of his footnoted references so you don't get lost in the weeds. I'm a research professional & I purchased the book so that I would be able to intelligently understand the influence of Kamala Harris' father in her life over the last 30 years they were interacting on the topic of economics. If you're looking for some kind of smoking gun to accuse Harris of being a communist, you're going to be sadly disappointed. This book is about economics theory, not political activism.
