Harvard Hacks
28th November 2007
Steve Sailer points out the a lot of “big name authors” don’t actually write their own stuff. Of course, that’s been the cornerstone of academic writing from time out of mind. But it doesn’t hurt to remind people of it now and again.
That also applies to politicians who put out books when they’re running for President. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that some bottom-tier candidates run for President merely to increase the sales of their books, which otherwise would probably sink without a trace. Just monetizing the name, that’s all; if a football player can do it, why not a Congressman?
