About this title: Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social ...

"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."
"Sowell systematically dismantles the policies and notions of possibly well intentioned government programs. He states what these programs were supposed to accomplish and looks back to see how well the programs worked. As we know almost all were a dismal failure. This is a must read to understand the social and economic issues of our day."
"Damning thesis of the "liberal" agenda! Another well articulated argument adduced with several classic examples from America's greatest living philosopher."
