Culture of Critique is worth reading, despite being a seriously flawed book. The paperback version has a long preface added which fixes up some of its academic deficiencies, but this does nothing to fix the bad writing that makes it a chore to read. This is at its worst in the first half of the book; it gets much better toward the end. MacDonald also assumes familiarity with his previous two books on the Jews, so he never gives a full explanation of his central theory. MacDonald's latest book, "Individualism and the Western Liberal Tradition," is much more readable. It would be good to see "Culture of Critique" republished in a revised edition. As I said, despite all these flaws I still found it to be worth reading.
