Interesting but bias

I found the book to be very helpful to understand some economic concepts.

There is a definite liberal bias that doesn’t make a good faith effort to see both sides of the issue. For example, redistribution of wealth, concerns that led to the election of populist leaders, etc

I think the book would’ve been stellar if the writer spent more time trying to understand the opposing viewpoints. I would also trust his viewpoints more.
