I was just reading Thomas Sowell's article, The Legacy of Eric Hoffer, over at Capitalism Magazine. They seem to have an extended version of it.
Here's a great quote, that even sums up a great deal of Sowell's work as well:
Eric Hoffer never bought the claims of intellectuals to be for the common man. "A ruling intelligentsia," he said, "whether in Europe, Asia or Africa, treats the masses as raw material to be experimented on, processed and wasted at will."
May he rest in peace.
