Unlike most of his inside-the-Beltway media colleagues, Carlson is an unapologetic populist. Ships of Fools is selling well (debuting as #1 on the New York Times Best Seller list) for a reason: Carlson offers a fresh perspective on the cultural divide-the ruling class versus ordinary Americans-that characterizes the Age of Trump. Upon reading the book, however, I was favorably surprised by the high quality of Ship of Fools (subtitled, How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution ), which is engagingly written in his distinctive voice and presents a cogent stream of insights into our present predicament. Accordingly, even though I regularly watch, and enjoy, Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show, Tucker Carlson Tonight, I did not have high expectations for his recent book, Ship of Fools, which I received as a birthday present. ![]() They are typically slap-dash efforts-often dictated or ghost-written, padded, and calculated to cash in on sales to an uncritical fan base.
