Yes, there are other books I have not read. I didn&#x27;t know anything about Sowell before reading ACOV and was surprised to learn he is some sort of arch-conservative. You wouldn&#x27;t know it, from the book.<p>I found the theory to be accurate in the sense that it appears to have great predictive power, and provides reasonable and internally consistent explanations for a variety of observable political dynamics. Additionally, the book was recommended to me by someone who thought it explained the Bitcoin block size civil war, and I found it to be remarkably predictive of people&#x27;s attitudes, philosophies and chosen tactics, despite that it was written in the 1980&#x27;s. So to me it seems like the best explanation yet.
