Confessions was good and troubling. It's an entirely different side from Friedman, who chose to focus on the positives while Perkins had seen and been responsible for the negatives. It's impossible to know who is telling the truth and who isn't. I would whole-heartedly recommend Confessions to anyone with even a passing interest in world economics and politics. Finishing it has also reminded me that I wanted to grab the book that Syriana is based on; I'll have to try to remember that next time I'm in the store.
