Finished last year, but apparently never updated the status.

An interesting book for a bunch of reasons (e.g. questioning the very idea of 'social science', pointing out the somewhat -I hope?- more obvious idea that social science findings can strongly influence the things they purport to describe, right up to essentially creating the phenomena, etc.)

Somewhat marred by the author's heavy bias to focus on "right" social science (e.g. right-aligned economics) and an almost total ignoring of... well, just *so* much the rest of social science that is 90% "left". Certainly, there have been strong, and in periods dominant, right-leaning schools of thought (the entire "Chicago School" of economics) but, I mean, *nothing* in the entire rest of economics, sociology, psychology, education, etc...? Maybe he just didn't want to get canceled, but the argument itself would have benefitted from applying it to a broader set of cases.

Still, 4-stars. A strong book.
