Elaborate Description
The book is very valuable to read. The explanation of how some theories help institutions and at other times hinder them is a helpful way to understand how not to be overly reliant on any specific set of ideas. The drawbacks of this book is the lack of consistency. The author's transitions from topic to topic are not very smooth to the point where it is difficult to grasp where one topic ends and another begins. There where many times in the book where the author gave very good descriptions of the theory behind a certain paper or person, but many times were the author wants to the readers to be credulous to theory without a proper explanation. In the 1st part of the book, it seems that some descriptions were of Bayesian Theory yet there was no mention of him. The best part about this book is to see the interconnections between various people who helped progress the field of economics. There are many insights in this book.
