My review
Susan Jacoby pressents an in-depth examination of the rise of anti-intellectualism and anti-rationalism in current U.S. politics and culture. She presents many eye-opening statistics, such as the 20% of American adults who think the sun revolves around the earth, and traces back anti-intellectual movements throughout the country's history. There are several thematic similarities between this work and Al Gore's The Assault on Reason, if you liked one, definitely take a look at the other.
