This is a simple yet thorough explanation of the current world economy, perfect for someone looking for a 101 crash course. Scanlon is very adept at simplifying complex concepts using a Gen Z sensibility and, often, jargon.
However, the conclusion falls prey to the usual platitudes of the genre, especially the adoption of the Abundance model to solve the world's problems, leaving me with a feeling that the book's strengths are in explaining how the world currently works, but not how it can be made better.
