Politics & Society
Intellectuals and Society
by Thomas Sowell · 2009 · Revised and expanded edition, 2012
Why the people with the most credentials and the least accountability keep steering us wrong.
Clay's Take
The big one on intellectuals. Sowell's argument is simple and devastating: the people who shape opinion pay no price when they turn out to be wrong, so they keep being wrong, confidently. Once you see the pattern you cannot unsee it.
