Sam’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Anti-Intellectualism in American Life
Anti-Intellectualism in American Life by Richard Hofstadter
1 highlight
It is ironic that the United States should have been founded by intellectuals; for throughout most of our political history, the intellectual has been for the most part either an outsider, a servant, or a scapegoat.
