Here's a very short review of Tavis Smiley's book in case anyone else was curious.

The reviewer comes quickly to the crux of the book.

However, the general theme, despite the shared solution topics, seems to be almost always weighted towards heavy governmental intervention. In short, a "fix it with finance" solution to the problems. Critics of this book, both black and white, point out that the Government does not solve problems, it funds them.

I don't think anyone's going to remember this book in 20 years.
