About this audiobook

These selections from the many writings of Thomas Sowell over a period of half a century cover social, economic, cultural, legal, educational, and political issues. The sources range from Dr. Sowell’s letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from late-talking children to tax cuts for the rich, baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are dealt with by drawing sometimes on history, sometimes on economics, and sometimes on a sense of humor.

Ratings and reviews

Informative, entertaining, and can be a change of perspective on things as it's coming from his personal views on topics and situations rather than purely analytical. That being said, his views are mostly from a stance of facts more than anything.

Excellent!
