Great sentiment, flawed approach

3 stars

An interesting analysis of historical events that show how a fair approach to managing people and distributing benefits can yield superior outcomes over income maximizing approaches. It suffers from being cherry picked and anecdotal . While the case studies are well researched and valid examples, without considering counter examples more broadly the argument is less than convincing.
