Wenzels speech at the Fed seems to be a huge flop https://goodreads/book/show/22494777-the-fed-flunks?utm_medium=email&utm_source=book_recommendation Dustin rated it 1 of 5 stars This book is 50 pages of huge font and huge spacing. It almost seems that Bob just wanted to make some money so he turned a 5 minute speech into a book by using this deceptive font and spacing. Amazingly, I found many obvious typos. How hard can it be to edit a book with barely any words in it?? Bob could have given me $20 and Id have gotten all the errors out for him. Incredible. The speech itself takes up about 10 pages. The speech left a lot to be desired. While somewhat convincing, it did not have much substance. The speech can also be found online for free. Bob is a smart guy; he is very principled, and I respect that, but this book is a total joke. It reinforces my thoughts that he is very supercilious. Listening to his podcasts, reading his blogs, and now reading this book demonstrates to me that he is completely out of touch with reality. He has no humility and probably has never said the words Im wrong or I made a mistake in his life. Again, he is a very smart guy who knows Austrian economics extremely well, but lacks any form of graciousness. This book and the way he has built it up shows that. If you spend money on this book, you will feel swindled. Just read the speech online. Bob, if your goal is to have more people accepting of Libertarianism, I suggest you stop being an a-hole. If you were to combine your expertise with a friendlier and less combative approach (like a Tom Woods), I guarantee more people would listen to your message.(less) (on whether the Speech was real, see reddit/r/Anarcho_Capitalism/comments/1bjazl/robert_wenzels_ny_fed_speech/ mises.co.za/blog/2013/04/08/re-the-wenzel-ip-embarrassment/)
