Bibliography[]

He is the author of the 2019 book Unjust: Social Justice and the Unmaking of America. Published by Gateway Editions, an imprint of Regnery Publishing.[13][14] Reviewer Warren Blumenfeld saw the book as praising older American social justice movements that challenged hierarchies based on race and gender and attempted to remedy societal inequities associated with prejudices toward certain ethnic groups and the economic displacements of the industrial revolution, while failing to acknowledge the extent to which contemporary America "privileges and subordinates individuals based primarily on their social identities."[15] Jonah Goldberg called Unjust "crisp, insightful and passionate".[16]
