I agree. Went several paragraphs at a time without processing the information because I would get bored of the nonstop trade negotiations and politics. I feel like each of the five parts could have been reduced to one chapter. I get that it was innovative for its time, but the themes it innovated are easy to grasp by modern standards, and it’s aged poorly as a result imo
