Fossil fuels are bad. Illegal immigration is necessary for the economy. Free markets are arbitrary and cruel. Christians are intolerant. Men and women are exactly the same. The dogma preached by the far left has gone mainstream and the results are frightening: Most of what you hear these days is flat-out wrong. Mark Davis pulls apart the tenets of liberal dogma in Upside Down, a right-side-up correction of everything that's wrong with today's topsy-turvy world.

Excellent presentation of conservative viewpoint
Revisado: 06-26-17
This book is a fantastic review of conservative opinions and the reasoning behind those opinions. I learned an amazing amount about why the right thinks what it does. The book was very hard to listen to because of the righteous indignation the author has toward the left. His exaggerated exhaustion with the left is over the top for most of his reading as he believes he is perfectly correct in all his opinions. Furthermore, there are almost no facts or studies that back many of the opinions in the book. I expected the arguments to have at least some academic backing, rather than a regurgitation of emotional arguments that may or may not have any actual data supporting them. Even on opinions that I shared with the author I found it hard to identify with someone who is so polarizing and lacks authority outside of his own words and opinions. I guess that reflects many of us, who have the opinions that we do based on being part of a group but I guess I assumed that someone writing a book would do at least cursory research to support their opinion.

Lianyungang, a booming port city, has China's most extreme gender ratio for children under four: 163 boys for every 100 girls. These numbers don't seem terribly grim, but in 10 years, the skewed sex ratio will pose a colossal challenge. By the time those children reach adulthood, their generation will have 24 million more men than women. The prognosis for China's neighbors is no less bleak: Asia now has 163 million females "missing" from its population. And gender imbalance reaches far beyond Asia....

Overall a great insight into the complex topic of gender imbalance. Some parts of the book end up feeling like long lists of the same phenomenon, asia has a problem, Vietnam
Has a problem, India has a problem... The books ends well in a summary of the issues that are a result of gender selection.
