Probably too complicated to explain because my entire class finished the book going "huh?" but i'll give it a wack...

So the class was on Latin American economic history. The book was about the culture of world back loans and the governments who recieve them. The problem was that it was written like an ethnography but with not nearly enough people in it.

There is saying "there aren't enough people in this book" when it's written by a historian, and than there is "there aren't enough people in this book" when it's written by an anthropologist. Honestly i can't remember much detail about it. I'm in a book per week per class program and that was last fall. It was the only book from the semester I didn't keep.
