I'd like to imagine this book was written in response to seeing Peoples History on The Sopranos

EDIT:

In a review in the conservative magazine National Review, Matthew Spalding of the Heritage Foundation wrote that "A Patriot's History rejects the economic determinism of Beard and Zinn, and others who 'wrongly assume that people were (and are) incapable of acting outside of self-interest.'"

Isn't this their fucking arguement for why communism won't work lmao
