The Assault on Reason

In this 2007 book, former vice president Al Gore argues that the politics of fear, secrecy, cronyism and blind faith have created an environment hostile to reason across American politics. He contends that thirty-second television spots shape voters' thinking more than open debate does. Chapters address religion in politics, the influence of wealth, national security and the carbon crisis, and Gore closes by calling for a well-connected, informed citizenry to revive democratic discussion.
