The Worthy House (Charles Haywood)
Society & Culture
This is the book that explains everything that matters at this moment. You must read it. Although I wrote this nearly five years ago, it has not aged a day, and remains, I think, one of my most useful articles. (This article was first published January 19, 2017.)
The written, original version of this article can be found here, or at https://theworthyhouse.com/2017/01/19/book-review-the-demon-in-democracy-ryszard-legutko/
