Ok I just read the entire book. It was pretty good. Pierre is clearly an economist and his strongest arguments all revolve around his economic analysis. Unfortunately he seems to largely ignore possible social reasons behind things. For example he claims that the lesser spending on public schools is why places like Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan have greater literacy in the field of math. But that ignores the extreme pressure on kids to perform and the long study sessions that are known to occur in those countries.

The weakest part of the book is the chapter on justice, where he concludes that the best and sole way to reduce crime is by having violent/harsh punishment. "If Detroit adopted judicial caning as it is practiced in Singapore, Detroit could eliminate most of its crime in a matter of months." Now I'm not an expert on the justice system but this seems quite silly to me. The reason death is a more effective punishment than jail is because jail reduces a criminals ability to engage with society when they get out of it. In reality losing a decade or more of your life is a much harsher punishment than getting caned. He is correct however that the death penalty removes all chance of reoffending, obviously. His economic points on the justice system are valid however.

7/10 book overall. Hopefully BG3 is as good as "You have the right to be taxed," by Pierre Begue

Did you really read the whole thing? I was talking to FriendlyMerchant about it last night and he said it was a good book too. I guess I might take a look at it.

BG2 is the only good game in the series :M

A lot of people here, mainly fans of dungeons and kobolds people who prefer low level D&D prefer BG1 over 2. In fact, BG1 is more replayed than BG2 in codex BG1 is low to mid level, BG2 is mid to high level and ToB is high to epic level. But here is a hot take. Siege of the Dragonspear >> Baldur's Gate 3. Yes, the worst infinity engine game. Except by complete bastardizations like sword coast legends, BG3 is the worst D&D/Pathfinder adaptation ever.

crpg are worst hobby ever,

My favorite game genres are CRPG and FPS. I only play more CRPG than FPS due old games. If wasn't by old CRPG I would be a fully dedicated FPS gamer. And even with FPS, the most modern game that I like to play is Battlefield 1. And even BF1 has some decline BS like suppression in a very arcade game and random bullet deviation. But sniping with a Springfield in .30-06 rifle is very satisfying and fun. I've posted in screenshot thread a killstreak of 32 kills with no deaths with my springfield rifle. I also played a lot of ArmA 3 KoTH but after I lost all of my progress and my loved GM6 Lynx with APDS ammo in that mode, I decided to stop playing it. ArmA 3 is very realistic. I have hundreds of hours on steam.

The RPG genre declined way more than any other genre.

And part of this problem is the RPG fanbase fault. For eg, BF5 had a lot of SJW BS and nobody purchased. VtMB2 WILL have a lot of SJW BS and people will buy it. RPG gamers should have stopped purchasing declined and woke games.

Most jap crawlers take more after Wizardry than M&M friend, and the hardcore ones are mostly untranslated, from the translated one i can recommend Strangers of the sword city, Elminage Gothic and SMT Strange Journey, those games don't have a heavy "anime" aesthethic, if you want to play games with a more anime art style there's Etrian Odyssey series and Dungeon Travelers. I would start with Elminage Gothic if you want classic Wizardry.

Yup, it's a pretty short book so it only took like 3 hours. Quite comprehensive though.
