Add a review of Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy

Add a review of Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy http://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/66951/raghuram-g-rajan-mathias-dewatripontjean-charles-rochetjean-tiro/fault-lines-how-hidden-fractures-still-threaten- from Foreign Affairs 99.56.121.149 (talk) 06:37, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why? If Rajan is editor, it might be appropriate, but that's not the way the description reads in the review. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is editor of what? 99.112.215.224 (talk) 17:40, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is the editor of the book. If he's a contributor, or even an editor, then a review of the book doesn't reflect on him. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 01:11, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Rajan is the author of the book Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy. Read the references. 108.73.112.139 (talk) 01:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Not according to amazon.com.Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:57, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My mistake. I don't know why we shouldn't add reviews, such as http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/sep/30/slump-goes-why/ (New York Review of Books). — Arthur Rubin (talk) 10:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read Fault Lines instead of second-hand info? Invest in the future of the USA, education below University level, or don't you have kids? 216.250.156.66 (talk) 19:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't read it, but the thesis (as described in the reviews) is inconsistent with common sense. However, common sense has no part in Wikipedia, so that's irrelevant. In general, reviews of the book would be appropriate in the article if the book is one of his major works. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 19:56, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
inane comments
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

User:Arthur Rubin please do not knowingly write irrelevant comments. Common sense is not an objective universal concept, but essentially meaningless; in this case, a likely an abuse attempt by Special:Contributions/Arthur_Rubin. Good point Special:Contributions/216.250.156.66. Please focus on improving the articles and the entire intra-connected collection, enlightening the "Admin" is not a productive goal here, please do not write in response to goading or taunting by this User (= Arthur Rubin?) and focus on creation. Just some unsolicited comments.  ;-) 99.181.146.135 (talk) 02:02, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My comment is irrelevant only because yours is. Nonetheless, since I made a mistake in not noting that Rajan is the author of the book in question, I reiterate that reviews of the book, including those which note that the book has no basis in fact, could be added. The review has to be from a notable or reliable source, as is that in the New York Review of Books. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:52, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Does your no basis in fact have a reference, or more wp:or from AR? 99.181.140.94 (talk) 17:26, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have you read the New York Review of Books review? — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:33, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could you provide a link? 209.255.78.138 (talk) 19:47, 31 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is this The New York Review of Books review you mention; http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2010/oct/14/way-out-slump/ ? 209.255.78.138 (talk) 19:06, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Have you, Arthur Rubin, read the Review? 99.181.155.158 (talk) 05:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I've read it. I think it's absurd as a review, but we're forced to accept it as a reliable source about the book. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 08:09, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

American?

On a matter of detail, what is Rajan's nationality? The page calls him an "American economist", and there has been some online debate about him being "American". If this is the case (i.e. being a US citizen), could he be possible for him to be appointed to the Governorship of the Reserve Bank of India? I think not....

Just querying so that there could be some clarity on this.

He was also on the US Federal Reserve board and in Sweden. There is some controversy.
