I thought it was OK if you are already equipped to parse through the bullshit (e.g. reading it critically).
The best thing I would say about it is it is relatively concisely written for such a heady topic, and I appreciated the anecdotes regarding skyrocketing mental illness in British schools. It helped descramble my brain a little bit when I read it.

Do you have a link to the show? I have never heard of Marx Madness before.
