A list of worst books ever written by Chip Wood
1. The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels
2. Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler
3. Quotations from Chairman Mao by Mao Zedong
4. The Kinsey Report by Alfred Kinsey
5. Democracy and Education by John Dewey
6. Das Kapital by Karl Marx
7. The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan
8. Course of Positive Philosophy by Auguste Comte
9. Beyond Good and Evil by Friedrich Nietzsche
10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money by John Maynard Keynes
I personally have read a part of Mein Kampf of Adolf Hitler and I find it a fascinating book. Not in the sense that I agree with the writer but in giving you information.
He explains his experiences and his knowledge about the Jews and why he hates them. You just cannot throw away this explanations as well as you cannot approve them. I think he found much agreement among the Germans with his hate towards the Jews and that is some reason for his success. The social democrats tried to make follow them. He was able to refute them in all points. So they tried to put him under pressure repeatedly. Interestingly nowadays it is tried to program me to a social democrat by mind control technologies. Interesting that this book tells you that they were not different many decades ago. There is more inside.
The number five of the worst books written is:
5. Democracy and Education by John Dewey
Chip Wood gives some explanation why he thinks this is a bad book:
Here’s a name that isn’t mentioned much anymore, but Dewey’s influence in the first half of the 20th century was enormous. In this 1916 work, Dewey (the “father of progressive education”) denounced education that focused on traditional character development and the accumulation of “hard” knowledge (i.e., facts).
Instead, the secular humanist advocated teaching “thinking skills,” with little concern about what is “right” or “wrong.” We are still paying the price for such idiocy today, nearly 100 years later.
