Flimsy and poorly argued. For example, in the first chapter he cites many, many examples of white settlers in colonial America going off to live with the Indians and refusing to come back to live with their previous compatriots. Why this happened is an interesting question. But if you read Junger's quotes carefully, they equally support the explanation that the leavers valued autonomy, rather than Junger's explanation, which is that they valued community.
