Book Synopsis

Never before in human history has so much cleverness been used to such stupid ends. The cleverness is in the creation and manipulation of markets, media and power; the stupid ends are in the destruction of community, responsibility, morality, art, religion and the natural world. Dumbing Down collects essays on this new phenomenon. It is an indispensable handbook for understanding the modern age.

Septimus Waugh

An entertaining and informative read, well worth £12.95.
