Ahead of his time as usual

Even in politics and sociology Albert Einstein was ahead of his time. A bit of an idealist, his ideas are still relevant because they speak to behavior of individuals that in a mass scale still seem almost utopian. He was, though, able to eloquently speak of the troubles of his day and offer some sage advice for their solution. If you wish to see his humanity, please purchase this book.

Brilliant Book

Einstein's ideas on the social questions of the day were very interesting. He made some very logical deductions about politics, which were refreshing. I plan to re-read this book soon, because I don't think I got the full effect the first time I picked it up. His ideas were a strong mixture of logic and compassion, two powerful qualities, a very positive synergistic effect.
