I suspect you'll hate it for fairly predictable reasons. I think she starts from a fairly reasonable perspective on the overlarge state and unjustified definitions of 'need', and then goes utterly bonkers somewhere around the page 450 mark. The Zimbabwe allegory, though, is astonishing. As I read it, I felt my eyes opening wide as I realised just how accurately she predicted Robert Mugabe. The scene in which a law is passed forbidding people to leave their jobs or raise prices made my mouth fall open.
