The Vision of the Anointed Self-Congratulation As a Basis for Social Policy

Description:

Selected Reviews:

"Thomas Sowell's may not be the prophet who leads the new American political majority into the deregulated promised land, but he surely has given voice to many of its longstanding frustrations. It is too bad that he has overstated his case and failed to suppress his obvious enmity toward his intellectual and political targets . Mr. Sowell has written an important and incisive book, even with its flaws. But with a bit more moderation at the margins, he could have written a better one still."

--Richard Epstein, New York Times Book Review
