Untruth why the conventional wisdom is (almost always) wrong

Samuelson, Robert J. (Author).

Summary: "[C]olumnist Robert J. Samuelson explains why our political, economic, and cultural debates so routinely traffic in misinformation--popular fads that, like meteors, momentarily burn brightly and fizzle out ... Untruth is the first collection of Samuelson's insightful assaults on the conventional wisdom. Included are columns arguing that campaign contributions have not corrupted politics, that the 'service economy' is not turning America into a nation of hamburger flippers, and that the Internet isn't the most important invention since the printing press"--P. [4] of cover.
