THE ART OF CONTRARY THINKING

by Humphrey B. Neill ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 25, 1954

Mr. Neill calls himself ""the Vermont Ruminator"" and under the guise of advice on how to think analytically and come to your own conclusions, he offers his own beliefs on the virtues of free enterprise, a Republican government, sound monetary policy and a general adherence to the status quo. His is a good, conservative independence. But the method whereby he puts forth his theses is at best a little disorganized and switches enigmatically back and forth from passages on how to think clearly and rise above prevailing opinion, to illustrations as to how- through faulty thinking- the public has often been wrong. Unfortunately limited and opinionated in ways that inherently detract from his professed intent, Mr. Neill's book is confused cracker barreling and doesn't even really tell us why our Republican government is best.
