For the past several years, Thomas Sowell has been writing a weekly newspaper column for the Scripps-Howard News Service. This book represents a compilation of several of those short essays written for the common reader. Sowell's essays paint some hard truths backed by brilliant scholarship. He discusses many of the extraordinary ideas that preoccupy the Liberal political agenda, exposes the flaws, and submits them to reprimand. He lays bare the errors of such phenomena as affirmative action, judicial activism, media hype, social security, and homosexual politics.
Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and the recipient of many awards and prizes.
