Douglas Murray Was Right - Konstantin Kisin

In 'The Strange Death of Europe,' Douglas Murray argues that European civilization is under threat due to two primary factors: the mass migration of new peoples into Europe and the continent's low birth rates, combined with a loss of faith in its beliefs, traditions, and legitimacy. Murray contends that Europe's exhaustion from its historical burdens, its post-Christian and post-modern identity crisis, and its inability to defend its values are leading to a cultural and demographic transformation that may result in the end of Europe as it has historically existed. The book is characterized by its polarizing reception, with some praising its insightful reporting and others criticizing its perceived xenophobic and paranoid tone.

In 'Is Reality Optional? And Other Essays', Thomas Sowell critiques various social and political movements, highlighting the unrealistic aims and unintended consequences of well-intentioned policies. The essays span topics from sex education to environmental policies, emphasizing the importance of economic principles and the inevitability of trade-offs in decision-making.
