With such an intriguing and ambitious title, I had high expectations for this treatise. Less than five pages in, however, it became apparent that the sole achievement of its author lies in the magnitude of his abuse both of economic theory and the English language.
The author's primary aim is to criticise and "offer an appropriate response" to the flawed efficiency claims made by economists, legal scholars, and policymakers. I infer that this is what he was attempting to convey, for the first chapter was so poorly constructed and displayed such a complete disregard for grammar and syntax as to require two or three wearisome and labored readings before I could understand adequately what the author was trying to say. Where the writing was not utterly baffling, it served only to demonstrate the author's ignorance of the finer points of the relevant theory.
Prospective readers who have yet to be deterred are encouraged to make liberal use of the 'Look Inside' feature of Amazon and obtain first-hand experience of these observations. To those who continue in spite of these warnings, I wish you the very best of luck. This book will certainly keep you occupied for a good while.
