The Ideas Industry: How Pessimists, Partisans, and Plutocrats Are Transforming the Marketplace of Ideas, Paperback

Daniel W. Drezner's The Ideas Industry looks at how we have moved from a world of public intellectuals to today's "thought leaders." Witty and sharply argued, it will reshape our understanding of contemporary intellectual life in America and the West.
