My List

After a night of soul searching, I feel it necessary for this blog to offer its apology regarding yesterday's remarks about Michael "Savage" Weiner's most recent book, Liberalism is a Mental Disorder.

Friends, loved ones, the truth is, I have not read this book by Mr. Weiner, or any of his other books. My judgement of this book was not made ex cathedra, but was rather made out of school, where Bulworth stakes no claims to inerrancy or infallibility.

My leap to judgement about Liberalism is a Mental Disorder did get me to thinking about something else, however.

In parsing the list of most harmful books submitted by the editors of Human Events Online, and derived from its cadre of eminent conservative "scholars" and public policy "leaders", I believe I've identified at least one thing each of these books has in common.

Each of these books has a similarly vague title. On Liberty, Feminist Mystique, Descent of Man, Unsafe at any Speed, Das Kapital, General Theory of Employment, Democracy and Education. How on earth is one supposed to know, without reading them, what these books are about? On Liberty. What about liberty? Is liberty good or bad? General Theory of Employment. What is the general theory of employment? Should people be employed? Democracy and Education. What about democracy and education? Are these related concepts? Are democracy and education good or bad? See what I mean? There's nothing in these titles to inform prospective readers what the book's perspective is or what the substantive arguments of the books are.

Fortunately, books by conservative "scholars" and public policy "leaders" don't suffer from this problem. Their book titles include both the book's conclusion as well as the substance of their arguments. One of the helpful advantages of this approach is that one need not actually read the books to know what the book's message is. This helps save a considerable amount of time.

As an example, I have taken the trouble of identifying the most harmful books written in the last decade, give or take a few years. I trust you will easily see that even though you and I have been spared the punishment of having to read them, their titles give us enough to go on.
