Probably will take forever, reading the review, sounds intensely demanding on the brain lol, but certainly will share thoughts if capable of any!

Btw couldnt process it earlier but your piece on the Ripley is radically insightful, did not think to see it through the mimetic theory lens when i caught it!

The first part of Price of Time isn’t too difficult to follow, it gets technical probably about 100 or so pages in but written in a good well so not like reading a textbook.

Thank you for letting me know about the Mimetic theory one! That was an early article before I had many readers so most missed it!

Finally got started on reading and just touched on the bird in hand chapter which i found refreshing, seeing interest as the price to wait and Fed managing interest rates is akin to managing human nature
