It is important to stress my disappointment at having to write such a negative review. I have had an interest in Nietzsche and his philosophy for some time and am always interested in commentary on society and our interaction with the world around us which is why I was so keen to review this book. Unfortunately, I cannot escape the monotony of West's approach nor the dreary regurgitation of a thousand Daily Mail columns about the curse of equality within the worn out neoliberal discourse that permeates our society- if you work hard enough you don't need equality.
For those interested in the flip side of this coin, you could try [[The Spirit Level: Why Equality Is Better For Everyone by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett]]. From the same stable, we have a review of [[The Happy Passion: A Personal View of Jacob Bronowski by Anthony James]].
