Letters to a Young Contrarian
Letters to a Young Contrarian is Christopher Hitchens' contribution, released in 2001, to the "Art of Mentoring" series published by Basic Books.
Inspired by his students at The New School in New York City and "a challenge that was made to me in the early months of the year 2000," the book is addressed directly to the reader—"My Dear X" —as a series of missives exploring a range of "contrarian," radical, independent or "dissident" positions,
reflect changes in the sentiments of the majority of investors.
