"I found Sowell's book to be a real eye-opener. It is totally readable, despite what you've ever thought about economics, and makes sense of a complex subject. The only problem is, I won't be able to listen to these politicians and their bogus claims without endangering my radio. It is an excellent book. Absolutely."
