factual rebuttal of social justice claims

Revisado: 05-01-24

Sowell, as usual, uses careful factual analysis to show beyond question that the social justice advocates have been wrong about nearly everything and have done more harm than good to the people they say they care about.

RFK Jr has been following this story for decades. His knowledge of the subject is unsurpassed. I can't recommend it more. Listen to it as at lease 1.5X speed.

Ferguson at his best

Revisado: 05-20-19

It takes a great British historian transplanted to the USA to give the correct insights to this historical recounting. Loved it.

Important knowledge for our time

Revisado: 02-03-19

Dr. Sowell has unusual credentials to understand challenges facing our move toward a welfare state. His many years of studying this issue along with his personal background make him uniquely able to elucidate this subject. Very well written and enjoyable to listen to. Must read!l. Essential knowledge that you can not easily find.

I liked the counter argument to those who emphasize a relation between race and IQ. The only well researched and stated critique of that subject that I have seen. It is one thing to dismiss it out of hand like Obama did, it is quite another thing to present a well thought out argument.

Revisado: 09-25-18

I enjoy Ann’s sense of humor but her ability to frame this story in the context of the history of the presidencies makes this an extraordinarily informative book.
