Talk:Rick Perlstein

Sparseness of biographic content makes page read like an advert from his publisher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.30.122.246 (talk) 14:34, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

This page reads like an advertisement for his books with breathless quotes from various reviews. Needs a complete rewrite to focus on content and less on reviews. Tdietterich (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Fourth book Stock Ticket needs discussion with links to reviews to resolve WP:NPOV issue
needs discussion including quotes from reviews. There is a WP:NPOV issue when 3 books discussing Conservatism are discussed, and the one book discussing The Left is not. — Lentower (talk) 19:45, 18 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Hm.. Perlstein is considered a liberal. That he wrote a massive set of books on the rise of Conservativism in America - basically a social history through that lens, of the two decades 1960-1980. There is nothing biased that requires a banner tag. If you think content is missing please add it. -- Green  C  04:13, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * The other thing is that the C books are histories of lasting importance whereas The Stock Ticker had a short life about the political moment ca. 2005. It's not so simple as conservative vs. democrat books, that is a false balance. -- Green  C  04:16, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
