Discrimination and Disparities de Thomas Sowell

Discrimination and Disparities

Autor Thomas Sowell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 mar 2019

Economic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.

Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. This revised and enlarged edition also analyzes the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of these disparities and the policies based on that vision--from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.

Recenzii

"Throughout his career, Thomas Sowell has been fearless inconfronting uncomfortable facts about human nature and ill-conceived publicpolicies. His new book,Discriminationand Disparities, is the latest in a long line of works that calmlybut persuasively shatter myths and ideological beliefs about race, ethnicity,economics, history, and culture."—New York Journal of Books
"Timely...a must-read."—Rush Limbaugh,The Limbaugh Letter
"A sane, balanced and highly informeddiscussion of many of the central issues of the day."—Washington Times
"Everything Dr. Sowellwrites is worth reading, but this book couldn't be more timely. If there is anytopic that needs a strong dose of empirical data and common sense, it is thisone."—Power Line
"[Sowell] writes on economics in a manner that is not only accessible, but also relevant and even riveting."—The Conservative Woman
"Few works on politically explosive topics maintain such a consistent focus on empirical evidence while avoiding rhetorical jabs at opponents...those who cling to this dogma with religious fervor will likely avoid Sowell's fact-filled book like kryptonite. Folks with less dogmatic proclivities, however, would do well to peruse this concise work."—American Thinker
