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]

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]
