Description

The Triumphs of the Airheads and the Retreat from Commonsense by Shelley Gare. The airheads are winning. We live in an upside-down world where celebrity matters more than substance; correct spelling is considered less important than knowing how to do Power Point; bright maths and science students go into investment banking so that they can make truckloads of money; and small girls seriously regard a trashy hotel heiress as a role model. We have an American president who gets Sweden and Switzerland mixed up (Bush) and Australian politicians who spend millions on spin doctors while schools and hospitals go begging. The age of the airhead has one message. Commonsense doesn't pay off. If your smart, be smarter: play dumb. Light to medium general wear around the book but overall tidy.
