IDIOT AMERICA(ISBN=9780767926157) 英文原版 地址 caj 百度云 pdb pdf kindle txt 下载

　　NATIONAL BESTSELLER

The three Great Premises of Idiot America:

· Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or

otherwise moves units

· Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough

· Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined

by how fervently they believe it

With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles

Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the

glorification of ignorance in the United States.

Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has

somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote

for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But

his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he

hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and

that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite

and razor-sharp, Idiot America is at once an invigorating history

lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our

smarter selves.
