About this title: Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years.

"Deeply flawed argumentation, as conservatives have all the same problems when it comes to how they treat the opposition as liberals do. His philosophy is Stoic and pagan; troubling that so many Christians buy into it so deeply."
