Summary: Creating Ideas
Review: Who creates the ideas that move people and nations? And why do they do it? Surely ideas and convictions motivate many of us to act in important ways. In his revolutionary book, Darren Staloff explores the relationship of intellectuals to the cultural products they create. Read this book to find out about Puritans; but read it thoroughly to learn about ideas and their use. This book may change a lot of what you think about ideas and intellectuals. It is highly recommended for all thinkers and skeptics.
