1. 1. Social Sciences As Sorcery

   

   A sharp, skeptical critique arguing that much of social-science writing relies on obscure jargon, inflated claims and sloppy reasoning rather than careful observation and clear argument; it exposes the tendency to dress weak evidence in grand theory, to misuse statistics and anecdotes, and to let political or personal biases masquerade as scientific insight, and it urges greater intellectual honesty, methodological rigor and modesty about what can genuinely be known about society.
