How did we become hostages t o idiocy? What must we do to be freed from a captor whose ransom note simply reads, 'D'oh'? The deteriorating quality of our publi c debate and the dwindling of common sense in media, politics and culture can drive you to despair and rage. It certainly drove wr iters Helen Razer and Bernard Keane to a desperate act: befriendi ng each other for long enough to write a book. Join forces with t hese uneasy allies to fight against a world that has lost its rea son. Explore what's behind the remorseless spread of idiocy, and why there's just so much damn Stupid around you. Stupid isn't jus t ignorance; it's not just laziness. Worse than the absence of th ought, Stupid is a virus that drains our productivity and leaves us sick and diminished. And Stupid has a long, complex and terrib le past, one we need to understand in order to defeat it. A Short History of Stupid traces the origins of this maddeni ng ill, examining the different ways in which we've been afflicte d over the last three thousand years. It damns those who have spr ead Stupid and celebrates the brave few who resisted. It shows ho w Stupid tightens the grubby grip of the foolish around our throa ts. Hilarious, smart, unpleasant, infuriating and rude, A Short H istory of Stupid is at once a provocation and a comfort. It will spark debate, soothe the terminally frustrated and outrage the ri ghteously Stupid. It is a book whose Stupid time has come.

Buch
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.
