About this audiobook
Harold E. Stearns asks why the United States, so rich and busy, has so little room for the intellectual life. Foreign visitors have long noticed a certain thinness in American thought. He starts from Einstein's remark that some American cities suffer from a poverty of intellectual things, and asks whether the charge is fair.
This essay comes from Civilization in the United States, the 1922 collection he edited. Read by Tony J Martin in forty-nine minutes.
