Jerry Z. Muller
Jerry Z. Muller is a professor of history at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. His academic background as a historian informs his analytical approach to contemporary social and institutional problems.
Muller's personal experience as a department chair dealing with metric-driven administrative demands motivated him to write this book.
His previous works have been described as histories, making this analysis-focused book somewhat different from his earlier writing.
Reviewers note his extensive research and ability to synthesize information across multiple disciplines, though some critique his ideological positions and conservative perspective on transparency issues.
