I liked Debt until I got up to the chapter on the 20th century where I knew something about the history involved and, well, you have stuff like "Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages." The whole chapter was filled with stuff like that and made me realized I shouldn't have been trusting the rest of the book.
