Ten Books that Screwed Up the World
And 5 Others That Didn’t Help

Author: Benjamin Wiker

You’ve heard of the “Great Books”? These are their evil opposites. From Machiavelli’s The Prince to Karl Marx’s The Communist Manifesto to Alfred Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, these “influential” books have led to war, genocide, totalitarian oppression, family breakdown, and disastrous social experiments. And yet these authors’ bad ideas are still popular and pervasive—in fact, they might influence your own thinking without your realizing it. Here with the antidote is Professor Benjamin Wiker. In this scintillating new book, he seizes each of these evil books by its malignant heart and exposes it to the light of day.

“Benjamin Wiker has read the worst books in Western civilization so you don’t have to. In this sprightly, witty, engaging survey of bad guys ranging from Marx to Hitler, Nietzsche to Betty Friedan, Professor Wiker’s poison pen portraits are great critical aids to analyzing some of the worst ideas that have ever contaminated Western civilization. Professor Wiker recommends actually reading the books—but his own book is a whole lot more fun.”
—Thomas E. Woods, Ph.D.., author of How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization
