I noticed he was grandstanding alot on the fact that

"Economics is moral-free and the only objective way to look at the world"

And he did seem to gloss over some other variables. But other than that it seemed like he did gloss over some things that I wanted to know. Like he went over high end white people names, but not high end names of Blacks, which seems like he would have done given the topic he was discussing.

The best part of the book was the chapter about Why Drug Dealers Live with their Mothers. When he detailed how drug operations run pretty much like corporate america, it confirmed what I've been saying for years. (nameley that these dudes on the streets could make it in mainstream America but got sidetracked by various influences...)

So interesting in some facets and a quick read, but now it's all about Cormac McCarthy. His new one has me engrossed so far....
