I wonder what your dad thought about the tone of the book.
Personally, although I hope Bitcoin succeeds, I found the author's tone to be too condescending. I understand wanting to support Austrian Economics, but the vitriol against Keynes was too harsh and repeated too many times over many chapters that I felt like it was the rambling of a loud-mouthed, grumpy old man.
Indeed!. He told me he did not like it at all. It was "a childish rant" he said.
My dad prefers monetarism, but he did know Austrian Econonics, he recalled a lecture Hayek gave in the 70s in Chile when its economic model was being redefined. At the end, the country chose Friedman ideas.
