Over the course of his 60 years, Christopher Hitchens has been a citizen of both the United States and the United Kingdom. He has been both a socialist opposed to the war in Vietnam and a supporter of the U.S. war against Islamic extremism in Iraq. He has been both a foreign correspondent in some of the world's most dangerous places and a legendary bon vivant with an unquenchable thirst for alcohol and literature.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 141
In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.

Independent Thinkers & Those Seeking Truth
Reviewed: 12-07-20
For those disgusted and exhausted with the extreme anti-intellectualism of party politics, this is for you. Speak your mind or you will lose it. The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.
There are days when I miss my old convictions as if they were an amputated limb. But in general I feel better, and no less radical, and you will feel better too, I guarantee, once you leave hold of the doctrinaire and allow your chainless mind to do its own thinking.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,683
Economic forces are everywhere around you. But that doesn't mean you need to passively accept whatever outcome those forces might press upon you. Instead, with these 12 fast-moving and crystal clear lectures, you can learn how to use a small handful of basic nuts-and-bolts principles to turn those same forces to your own advantage.

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THE BASIC TOOLS OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS. ESPECIALLY SOCIALISTS AND ANY INDIVIDUALS INCLINED TO THINK THAT GOVERNMENT CAN CURE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 879
How can we benefit from the promise of government while avoiding the threat it poses to individual freedom? In this classic book, Milton Friedman provides the definitive statement of his immensely influential economic philosophy - one in which competitive capitalism serves as both a device for achieving economic freedom and a necessary condition for political freedom.

A poor execution of a great book.

Fantastic Book. BUT, Narrator will make ears bleed
Reviewed: 12-04-19
A classic. This book is a must read given the current rise of socialists and their incessant cry for the government to nationalize everything. However, this narrator is probably the worst person on the planet that they could have possibly picked to make this into an audio book. The narrator sounds like the voice of the very first Garmin GPS's to come out. Finding out that this narrator was not, in fact, a robot would be to my astonishment. The narrator absolutely ruined what could have been an enjoyable audio book. If you do listen to this narrator, get some band-aids ready for your bleeding ears.

In The Madness of Crowds Douglas Murray investigates the dangers of ‘woke’ culture and the rise of identity politics. In lively, razor-sharp prose he examines the most controversial issues of our moment: sexuality, gender, technology and race, with interludes on the Marxist foundations of ‘wokeness’, the impact of tech and how, in an increasingly online culture, we must relearn the ability to forgive.

An Urgent Read for Our Over-woke Times

TIMELY AND ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Reviewed: 10-14-19
The world needed this! This should be required reading for everyone. It is entertaining, thoughtful, and grounded in reality. And given the absurdity of the claims addressed in the book, it is also hilarious at moments.
