I haven't read Abundance or Dunkelman's book, but somehow I seem to have read a number of reviews of each. The criticisms in this review are the most reasonable I've read to date. It's pretty good if you can get past the kind of stuffy academic "but if they were familiar with the work of Parcheesi and McCoogan on this matter they doubtless would have drawn more from the extensive work in the field by Duffy..."

I tried reading Abundance but could only get through a few chapters.
It really does give off the New York Times feel of eloquent but only semi-intelligent. Like the focus is more on evoking a response in a single direction, rather than on a serious deep analysis of all the factors at play. Guess they're trained more in the skills of a propagandist than a serious analyst.
Sorry to be harsh about it, but that's just the vibe I got while reading it.
