What The Reviewers Say

Barton Swaim,
The Wall Street Journal
I find his writing brilliant, puzzling and reprehensible in roughly equal parts.
Becca Rothfeld,
The Washington Post
How Elites Ate the Social Justice Movement... eschews the rigors of social science, relying instead on the approachable yet deceptive consolations of anecdote.
Sam Tanenhaus,
The New York Times Book Review

Kirkus
Deliberately provocative, with much for left-inclined activists to ponder..
