A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren

3.0

Not what I was expecting, honestly. I'm a big fan of Senator Warren, and I imagined this book -- her first since being elected -- would be all about her economic views and the resulting political philosophy which together have made her so popular on the left. But she addresses these issues mostly in passing, and seldom with a fair explanation of any opposing views, which she largely dismisses as being paid for by the banking industry. This book is more memoir than treatise, filled with the play-by-play of Warren's political battles (and quite a lot of information about the dogs that she's owned), but lacking substantive policy discussions. Readers might admire Elizabeth Warren more as a person after reading this book, but it won't change any minds.
