I found some of the claims interesting, and after reading the like 100-page-long compilation of papers on the controversy I was deeply appalled by McCloskey and her allies’ clear dishonesty & bad behavior (which is something I shall certainly be taking into consideration if I read anything by McCloskey in the future), but I feel too ignorant of the topic to venture any opinion at all on the book or its claims (and the fact that it was ‘pop’ science didn’t help me).
EDIT: actually I guess I’ll just post that as my review. Better than leaving no review at all.
What was your opinion of The Man Who Would Be Queen?
