Reviews
If there were any justice in the world, Mac Donald would be knee-deep in Pulitzer Prizes and National Magazine Awards for her pioneering work. -- David Brooks * The Weekly Standard *
A startlingly valuable book, whether you lean left or right. -- Michael Pakenham * Baltimore Sun *
Spirited, stimulating, eloquent...The Burden of Bad Ideas is social, cultural, and political criticism of the first order. -- Jonathan Yardley * The Review of Higher Education *
Among discussions of urban malaise, where so much hot air has been recycled, this book has the freshness of a stiff, changing breeze. -- Allen D. Boyer * The New York Times *
Insightful, articulate, provocative, and most importantly, valid. -- Richard Lamm * The Wall Street Journal *
Mac Donald is the indispensable journalist...if you question that characterization, you havenit read her work. -- George Will, winner of the Pulitzer Prize
