{"product_id":"a-short-history-of-stupid-9781760294151","title":"A Short History of Stupid","description":"How did everything get so dumb? How did we become hostages to idiocy? What must we do to be freed from a captor whose ransom note simply reads, \"D'oh\"? The deteriorating quality of our public debate and the dwindling of common sense in media, politics, and culture can drive you to despair and rage. It certainly drove writers Helen Razer and Bernard Keane to a desperate act: befriending each other for long enough to write a book. Join forces with these uneasy allies to fight against a world that has lost its reason. This book examines the different ways in which we've been afflicted over the last 3,000 years. It damns those who have spread Stupid and celebrates the brave few who resisted. Hilarious, smart, unpleasant, infuriating, and rude, \u003ci\u003eA Short History of Stupid\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a provocation and a comfort.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Allen \u0026amp; Unwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760294151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Bernard Keane,Helen Razer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52604417245365,"sku":"9781760294151","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-short-history-of-stupid-9781760294151","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
