This book lacks editorial polish.
The book uses the name of the author and the book constantly. Very distracting. I expected more of a condensed book, but got a lot of repetition of words and ideas. I’m going to try a translation of the original text and suggest others do the same!

Vanilla intro to Ibn Khaldun
This provided a moderately helpful overview and background (I am teaching this text for the first time) but sounds like it might have been written as well as read by AI, with lots of generic and not entirely convincing formulations about Ibn Khaldun's ongoing relevance (did we really need the Muqaddimah to tell us that overtaxation could be destabilizing?). There was no critical element whatsoever, or reference to scholarly debates.
The AI reading was surprisingly good, except that it pronounced the title "Muggedy-mah."

Repetitive
Disappointingly general and vague. I would have like the actual writing of Ibn Khaldun not the author’s opinion of what he said.
