A review by psyphigrad
Ideas and Opinions by Albert Einstein

4.0

I'd been wanting to read his Why Socialism essay for a long time. I wanted to see the take of a man who was famous for being a symbol of genius on socialism and other issues of his day. As opposed to the often impenetrable ideas of relativity and quantum mechanics, I was pleasantly surprised by his easily accessible opinions and ideas on social issues. Most of the writing was concise and highlighted a fair number of big and pressing issues of his era. I'm glad I finally picked it up. Like other reviewers, I chose to skip most of the science pieces of 150 pages which I might return to if I ever end up teaching science again.
