I found all the beginning of the text (introductino and chapters I and
II) slow and boring, I must say, so I put it aside. It is a huge book
(900 pages), that seems to aim at systematicity, so you have to cover
all the squares on the table, if you see what I mean, and not all are
quite as interesting.
By contrast, I enjoy very much reading "The Constitution of Liberty"
by Friedrich Hayek. It is interesting to see, from the start, the way
in which he cares about the reader, and delays some concept analysis for
later just because it would be boring to do too much of it before
going into substance.
"Human action" seems alien to such preoccupation.
