Críticas:
It's delightfully written, very charming and laugh-out-loud funny. Recommended. * Weekend Herald * This is a highly polemical book... There are many opinions in this collection which will outrage, and many which will strike a chord... It will stimulate thought. * Northern Advocate *
Reseña del editor:
How did everything get so dumb? How did we become hostages to idiocy? What must we do to be freed from a captor whose ransom note simply reads, 'D'oh'? The deteriorating quality of our public debate and the dwindling of common sense in media, politics and culture can drive you to despair and rage. It certainly drove writers Helen Razer and Bernard Keane to a desperate act: befriending each other for long enough to write a book. Join forces with these uneasy allies to fight against a world that has lost its reason. Explore what's behind the remorseless spread of idiocy, and why there's just so much damn Stupid around you. Stupid isn't just ignorance; it's not just laziness. Worse than the absence of thought, Stupid is a virus that drains our productivity and leaves us sick and diminished. And Stupid has a long, complex and terrible past, one we need to understand in order to defeat it. A Short History of Stupid traces the origins of this maddening ill, examining the different ways in which we've been afflicted over the last three thousand years. It damns those who have spread Stupid and celebrates the brave few who resisted. It shows how Stupid tightens the grubby grip of the foolish around our throats. Hilarious, smart, unpleasant, infuriating and rude, A Short History of Stupid is at once a provocation and a comfort. It will spark debate, soothe the terminally frustrated and outrage the righteously Stupid. It is a book whose Stupid time has come.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback small octavo, very good condition, pages faintly toned, minor edgewear. 330 pp. Bernard Keane and Helen Razer discuss, in a humorous manner, the many ways that public debate and lack of commonsense in media, politics and society can become frustrating. Keane is the correspondent and politics editor in Canberra for Crikey, and Razer (also a Crikey contributor) has elaborated upon her already published thoughts on the impotence of the current Australian public debate.
