★☆☆☆☆
Liberal tripe
The author begins the book stating that good mathematicians always check the assumptions being made. From the first chapter he ignores his own advice and constructs an argument against those who are in favor of lower taxes and less government by stating his own opinion and disguising it as a “mathematical truth.” The author thinks that libertarians and conservatives are using “linear arguments.” He does not show or prove how this is so, but rather gives them this label and shows how such thinking is erroneous.
Frankly, his arguments are simply pathetic. He draws false conclusions from his own biased and subjective beliefs without even trying to prove what he says. I am surprised this book got past an editor and publisher. This book is more about trying to “prove” a liberal agenda than mathematics. It fails miserably on both objectives.
