There is criticism for the book, of course. However similar to evolution, although there is controversy, it is the prevailing theory among academia.

- ChrisLomont 12y ago> it is the prevailing theory among academia. What do you mean by "it"? The entire book? Some small part of it? The only place I've seen a poll about what those in academia think about a central theme of the book is this one [1]. The question posed is central to the book, and only 2% agree with the statement, 47% disagree, and 16% strongly disagree (the rest are uncertain or no opinion). 2% agreeing with such a central tenet while 65% disagree or strongly disagree hardly seems like this can be the prevailing theory among academia. Read some of their responses - many have short points or links to literature. This site, btw, has awesome questions about economic questions put to a poll of about 100 leading economists, and is an interesting source to see what issues they agree upon and which they don't.
