Praise for this book

Praise for On Decline

"Terse, direct, provocative"
--Mark Abley, The Walrus


"Like its historic ancestors, On Decline deserves a wide general audience and should be required reading for the incoming federal government."
--Winnipeg Free Press

Praise for Andrew Potter's The Authenticity Hoax


"Potter's broad-ranging survey makes a good case that the authenticist fantasy is deeply embedded in the culture."
--Wall Street Journal


"[Andrew Potter] offers a shrewd and lively discussion peppered with pop culture references and a stimulating reappraisal of the romantic strain in modern life."
--Publishers Weekly


"Potter weaves elements of history, philosophy and pop culture together in a book that will leave an impression even if it doesn't necessarily show us the path. Is Andrew Potter one of the great thinkers of our age? He may well be: this is great stuff."
--January Magazine
