Produktbeschreibung
In Anti-Scientific Americans, Matthew Motta offers new theoretical and data-driven insights into the prevalence, origins, and policy consequences of anti-intellectualism in the US. He brings together "micro-level" survey data from cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys spanning six decades, and aggregated "macro-level" data from hundreds of opinion polls dating back to the 1940s, to show that anti-intellectualism is both a pervasive and pernicious presence in American public life. A methodologically rigorous and empirically powerful account of one the most profound forces in American politics, this book will be of interest to scholars and students throughout the social sciences interested in why experts generate such resentment.
