Some Monday Readings


A little over three years ago, I read a rather startling book by Martin Gurri. Entitled The Revolt of the Public, it was a revision of an earlier edition and concerns the struggles between societal elites and, for want of a better term, normal people. My review, posted on Amazon, has earned the largest number of “helps” of any review I’ve ever done, which is more a measure of the book than the review. And Gurri has a new article, consistent with his book. See “Scenes from a Global Struggle: Elites vs. the Normies at Discourse Magazine
