The Thought Makers
This book clearly exposes the deadly errors of three major philosophical systems espoused by millions—Darwinian evolution, Freudian psychology, and Marxist communism. This little book goes beyond exposing falsehood to reveal the ultimate solution to humankind’s problems

It pains me a little even to give this two stars, but if there's any positive spin it's that Finley or whomever his ghost writers are (though he may call them something less occulty, angel writers?) does write non fiction prose that is engaging and with a clear voice. Perhaps because I heard his overly cliche and highly optimistic sermons so many times over the course of my childhood, I can hear his distinct clipped vocal style and even imagine his punctuated hand gestures mixed with those somewhat dead, vulgar eyes and thin, macaque like mouth.
I read this in deference to my father and hence why it took me so long to read such a short tract. I picked it up for two readings and then must have set it down for two months before pushing through the second half. I could give this little ditty even an inkling of more respect if the titular claims were examined at all, even as a superficial regard. But without surprise, Finely is not interested in an intellectual debate or methodical examination of these historic thinkers theories and philosophies but rather highlights there so called moral failures. Admittedly Marx and Freud did some pretty shitty things in real life and so goes the age old problem of the artist, the intellectual, the pioneer of this or that- the separation of the person from the art, from the invention, from the influential ideas. Of course that's not something this small book even attempts to examine, that is it's bread and butter- the fact that humans made bad decisions and repeated ones! The sky blue says reporter! This is certainly only an evangelistic and apologetic foray into the lives of these thought makers with very little effort being made to bridge any sort of gap between
