| Summary | "Assembles fourteen of the penetrating, provocative presentations by this controversial libertarian speaker and writer. The targets of Steele's acerbic and witty criticisms include Scott Adams, Mattias Desmet, Sigmund Freud, Sam Harris, Karl Marx, George Orwell, Jordan Peterson, Ayn Rand, and all things conventionally wokish. Steele's heroes encompass Immanuel Kant, Robert Michels, Ludwig von Mises, Dexter Morgan, Karl Popper, and all who, howsoever confusedly, come down on the side of liberty, truth, and unsocial justice."-- Publisher's website, viewed on March 6, 2024. |
