I have a new article out at the Journal of Classical Sociology. For those interested in debates revolving around value-free science and reformist sociology, this paper provides some historical context.

The paper advantage holds across ages and has grown over time. Long live physical books.

"As I finished my PhD thesis, I realized that the thesis had actually narrowed my intellectual lens to the point where I had become, if anything, a little stupider than when I began."
