Is it worth it?

It looks like a bunch of Ad Hominems strung together into political science book form.

Are there any more scientific political science books?

I really hate when a philosopher uses psychological ad hominems. Its depressingly common in modern political science.

>Plato was just scared of an Open society.
>And he was really a narcissist and wanted to be king.

In what world does this qualify as an argument?

Karl Popper is another example of a person who's good in one field but has nothing to offer in politics. (See Noam Chomsky)

Basically this. Also Popper is a personal hero of Soros, always remember that.

Political Science used to be fine and dandy when it was a simple discipline of comparative study, analysis and political philosophy. Most of the empirical research nowadays with its social science models is utter garbage though.

I don't know who Soros is and barely know Popper, and yet any of the possible meanings that can be given to this sentence is enough to let me know you're a retard.

George Soros is a Far-left Jewish Billionaire.

>I don't know who Soros is
It's that guy /pol/ keeps obsessing about. >>8124125 is correct nonetheless. Plus Soros named his Open Society Foundation after The Open Society and Its Enemies.

All Popper does in that book is just string a bunch of prejudiced third-hand statements together. You can tell by the book that he never read Plato for example.

He's a hedge fund manager, asshat. He's the opposite of "far left".
