Acerca de esta escucha

The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.

More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

Another Thomas Sowell masterpiece

Pro’s-Throughly logical arguments, presented in an easy to understand manner. The author’s critique regarding social justice should be answered by progressives, not just dismissed out of hand. If progressives were honest they would have to admit Thomas Sowell make some profoundly interesting points.
Con’s-Some of this material has been covered by a few of his other books. The reader was rather bland and somewhat monotonous.

Great book.

I really enjoyed the authors research and fact based opinions. The careful use of words and delivery of these allows the reader to come to their own conclusions and not deal talked into believing something. Well read and delivered for audio.

So many fallacies so little effort to research the facts and truly help.

As usual, Thomas Sowell is brillant. No one listens to all this logic. The facts are there if we just look before we take action or make policy.

Us versus them

The core of his argument is liberal, misguided, kindness, and concern, and unexpected consequences from policy.

Trust me, I’m a big fan of facts, however the hegemony of the left brain over right brain concepts of empathy they bear the the rationalist quip “facts don’t care about your feelings”


Ultimately, the parable of the good Samaritan stands in contrast to payday lending which he defends as a function of rational self interested capitalism whose lenders offer a service to a population, who otherwise do not have access to money.


If Thomas were drowning, what rational person would either throw him a life preserver or jump to save him?

Expect no less from the best

Many new and fresh insights while some were from Sowell’s previous books, still great to listen to

Eye opening view of justice

Wow! This is everything modern education is not. Objective and even. This book should be required reading in high school. It would be fascinating to read this book and then a similar, but opposing view. Then openly discuss the matter.

I’m dreaming. Sorry.

Well done Mr. Sowell!

Devoured it in its entirety

How does he do it? Thomas Sowell has such a grip on the English language; he frames institutions and their social and or economic pathologies with an economy of words that never bores the reader. he doesn't care about anyone's feelings. he understands what his role is as a true academic in his field of expertise and more often than not, diagnosis the issue with a simple, clean red-penned outline. A true call to action on every topic he writes about.
A national treasure.

Nobel prize in economics?

Such clear logic on what works and does not work
He should have won the Nobel prize for his work in approximately 1969. Maybe it will happen someday.
