Dangerous book list:
1. Bible
2. Koran
3. Anarchist's Cookbook
Leaving these, especially the first two, off the list, is really just blatant ignorance of reality.
Some boob thought that Mill's 'On Liberty' was dangerous? Did he read it first? I'm sure Mill's 'Essays on Sex Equality' would have also made that jackass' list.
Also, I thought that the brief descriptions of each book were hillarious. How about the blindly written one on Das Kapital:
Marx died after publishing a first volume of this massive book, after which his benefactor Engels edited and published two additional volumes that Marx had drafted. Das Kapital forces the round peg of capitalism into the square hole of Marx’s materialistic theory of history, portraying capitalism as an ugly phase in the development of human society in which capitalists inevitably and amorally exploit labor by paying the cheapest possible wages to earn the greatest possible profits. Marx theorized that the inevitable eventual outcome would be global proletarian revolution. He could not have predicted 21st Century America: a free, affluent society based on capitalism and representative government that people the world over envy and seek to emulate.
