So I've just had an epiphany about audiobooks, maybe even a revelation. I can't believe

it hasn't occurred to me before. There is absolutely nothing like an audiobook to

help keep you moving through ultra-dance or ultra-convoluted prose that you might get

lost in if you try to sit and read it. So with that in mind, I decided to download

a mainstay of my life reading list that was in danger of never getting crossed out. The

wealth of nations by Adam Smith and guys, it's great. And there's no chance that my eyes

were going to get heavy trying to plot my way through whole paragraphs on labor theory

that deploy but a single period. So wealth of nations I hardly recommend if you're

looking to better understand the economic underpinnings of the whole world. But the next

book you look to download, think about picking up one of those dense masterpieces you always

wanted to read, but they just seem too daunting to tackle. And when you're done with this

episode, go to audiblepodcast.com forward slash revolutions so that they know who sent you.

Hello. And welcome to revolutions.
