Lots of interesting examples with some unusual conclusions. Essentially, it is questioning and debating the role of common sense in society.
Fairly good bit about creating a just society, discussing Nozick, Rawls, and then Michael Sandel.
My own conclusion from the book was that common sense can lead as to false assumptions that are taken for granted. while common sense is a very useful tool in everyday society, we must enhance it through reason and critical thinking about what is really going on.
Ended with this :
The internet will allow for large scale sociological experiments, thus creating a revolution in sociology, allowing the subject to catch up with other disciplines. the six degrees of separation are shrinking.
