Thomas Sowell's provocative critique of liberalism's failures

The Vision of the Anointed is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes, but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. In this book, "politically correct" theory is repeatedly confronted with facts-and sharp contradictions between the two are explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites. These elites-the anointed-often consider themselves "thinking people," but much of what they call thinking turns out, on examination, to be rhetorical assertion, followed by evasions of mounting evidence against those assertions.

Having been written in the late 20th century, this book shines a floodlight of insight into understanding contemporary America in 2023. Sowell is brilliant.

Every paragraph hits a nail right on the head

I realize I was taught a variety of inaccurate “facts” in high school and college so TS’s research is appreciated. It leads the reader to reevaluate policy. Great read!

Eye-opening

I cannot recommend this book enough, as it totally dismantles leftist ideology. Sowell is brazen in his approach and totally unapologetic in his criticisms of the myopia of ideologues, and uses facts and statistics to devastate their position. If you are a "not left" of any ilk, this is the book for you. If you are a leftist, and want to read the best thing the opposition has to offer; this is also the book for you.

The narrator is solid. No complaints here.

There are not enough superlatives to use for Thomas Sowells writings. What a great American thinker. He is a national treasure and he gives me hope for our country.

I wish I could get Sowells books to everyone.
