The sources range from Dr. Sowell's letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from late-talking children to "tax cuts for the rich," baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are dealt with by sometimes drawing on history, sometimes drawing on economics, and sometimes drawing on a sense of humor. The Thomas Sowell Reader includes essays on:* Social Issues* Economics* Political Issues* Legal Issues* Race and Ethnicity* Educational Issues* Biographical Sketches* Random Thoughts "My hope is that this large selection of my writings will reduce the likelihood that readers will misunderstand what I have said on many controversial issues over the years. Whether the reader will agree with all my conclusions is another question entirely. But disagreements can be productive, while misunderstandings seldom are." -- Thomas Sowell Review: A 'Must' read for Republicans or Democrats - This is a life's work masterpiece. As the author says himself in the preface his purpose it not to change your mind but to eliminate misunderstandings. Since all facts are friendly, Thomas tries hard to show that there are more than one side to every national issue. His relentless pursuit of empirical evidence to substantiate the continued spending of taxpayer (our) money, is refreshing. The author has gone to great lengths in nearly every subject matter to NOT give you his personal opinion, although it may seem obvious by the preponderance of his evidence. He is skeptical of vague definitions and implores constituents to demand accountability, not only in government but to life in general. As other reviews have indicated, the book is written in short essays which make it very easy to digest and easy to skip around to topics of interest without loss of continuity. There are so many observations and world lessons in the book that you will want to keep it in reach for future reference. Whether you love it or hate it, I think that all of the information presented NEEDS to be considered in light of all of the recent world events. If you keep your mind open, you will recommend this book to someone when you are finished. Well done! Review: A must purchase for any serious researcher - Fabulous edition to my library. Unfortunately I fear the world will never know the true genius of such a great and wise man until after he passes, such is the ignorance of man. True peals of wisdom and observation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #20,646 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2 in Libertarianism #42 in Political Conservatism & Liberalism #53 in Political Commentary & Opinion | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 1,029 Reviews | ## Images ![The Thomas Sowell Reader - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61FclJefxgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A 'Must' read for Republicans or Democrats *by T***N on January 27, 2012* This is a life's work masterpiece.
