THE BETRAYAL OF INTELLIGENCE

by Joseph Jastrow ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 15, 1938

A protest against the current crop of inspirational writers, and the gullible public that falls for them. Discusses various humbugs -- astrology, pseudo-psychology, etc., how the public is treated as a moron by radio, moving pictures, and other mediums, a reminder that the public is intelligent if it would only stop to look and listen, to pause and reflect. Serious subject treated easily enough for reading on the run, in itself a self-help book, much as the author would not care for that classification.
