An excellent book that should be considered essential text for any political science class.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

This is well liked by a lot of people. Personally I didn't like the whole life story of supporting research projects around the world before he finally got to the point halfway through the book. He was justifying and backing up a theory, but he wouldn't say what that theory was. He acknowledged that this was intentional and explains why, but that didn't make it any less frustrating for me. Maybe I have ADD, maybe I'm a sociopath, who knows.

A decided conservative bias hiding behind its facade. Vastly overrated. I recommend people who don't want to be propagandized search for Chris Hedges review of this book.

Commenting on his review, Democratic Underground considered The Righteous Mind as a flawed attempt to explain moral divides, one that, in his view, risks promoting a tribalism and self-interest rather than fostering concern for the less fortunate and understanding across political lines.

Very funny as Chris Hedges is cartoonishly biased. Everything is a corporate oligarch conspiracy to deny the obvious fact that all the key institutions are woke. He runs the same game as the "true communism has never been tried" folk.
These are inconvenient realities Hedges can't touch.

The use of the "woke" in this reply just reinforces my point.

Your chagrin at the term "woke" just shows your bias.
