My new book, The Spirit Level Delusion will be launched at the Institute of Economic Affairs on Tuesday 11th May at 6.15 pm. You are very welcome to join us.
Christopher Snowdon’s new book — The Spirit Level Delusion: Fact-checking the Left's new theory of everything — shines the light of reason onto some of the wilder claims made by the Left in the last decade, not just in The Spirit Level but in such books as Affluenza, Happiness, All Consuming and The Selfish Capitalist.
If you've ever heard that Cubans live longer than Americans, that capitalism leads to mental illness or that income inequality is the root of all evil, you need to hear Mr Snowdon dismember these and other statist myths.
Nice one. I'll try and make it.
ReplyDeleteThe IEA don't half mess me up with their scheduling recently, can't make that either. :-(
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with it though, Chris.
Yep. the false dichotomy between labour and capital. Well done for spotting this one
