Head Cases, David C. Barker and Ron Elving examine the politics of intellect in the US. Drawing upon experimental evidence, they analyze how science, knowledge, and expertise have been politicized and how the resulting politicization has realigned American party allegiances and voting habits around differing views of intellectualism. The most penetrating account to date of how the Democratic party became a tribe of intellectual elites and how the Republican party became an echo chamber of intellectual indignation, this book offers ideas on how we might reverse these trends and revitalize democratic health.
