My Take
Paul Wolfowitz is impossible to discuss neutrally, and I won't pretend otherwise. Whatever one thinks of his politics, the trajectory from a University of Chicago intellectual to Deputy Secretary of Defense and World Bank President reflects a rare ability to translate ideas into real-world power. I'm more intrigued by that mechanism than persuaded by the ideology behind it. He represents a kind of academic who refuses the sidelines and reshapes events, for better or worse. History hasn't finished judging him, and I suspect his legacy will keep shifting for decades. That unsettled verdict is what makes him worth studying.
