| Summary |
French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu stands for the European form of Clinton-style, big-government spending. World famous in sociology and philosophy circles, he has been untouchable -- until now. Author Verdés-Leroux paints a highly charged portrait, denouncing his militancy, hypocrisy, elitism and shallowness. Witty, sharp and rigorous, the author gives ammunition against Clinton-style mumbo-jumbo. If you hate Clinton, you will love this book |
