Buchbeschreibung Softcover. Zustand: new. Did you ever have the uneasy feeling the expertsare not . . . well, expert?"Stocks have reached what looks like a permanently high plateau."--Irving Fisher, professor of economics at Yale University, October 17, 1929"Forget it, Louis, no Civil War picture ever made a nickel."--Irving Thalberg's warning to Louis B.

The experts have been wrong about everything under, including, and beyond the sun: time, space, the sexes, the races, the environment, economics, politics, crime, education, the media, history, and science. In this expanded and updated edition (now more error-filled than ever), we see just how much the experts don't know. But the book also goes deeper, presenting a through-the-looking-glass chronicle of human knowledge: the story of what was and is so, as seen through the story of what we wanted to and did believe.
