Some very interesting concepts, particularly around social capital and damages caused by financial incentives. Brings in a lot of great concepts, but the real-world evidence used is always very niche. Not the author's fault necessarily but the triumphal tone of "it worked for this tiny community in an economic periphery, surely it could work here!" wears thin very quickly. Author also does not critically analyse effects of concepts such as immigration ("but the dynamism!") or cryptocurrency. Obviously it's pop-economics so it wont be entirely rigorous but still feels very lacking in substance.

Good for starting conversations but lacking in depth.
