About this listen

An eminent authority presents a new perspective on affirmative action in a provocative book that stirred fresh debate about this vitally important issue when it was published in 2005.

In this important book, an eminent authority presents a new perspective on affirmative action, investigating its actual consequences in the United States and in other countries where it has been in effect. Evaluating his empirical data, Thomas Sowell concludes that race preference programs worldwide have not met expectations and have often produced the opposite of what was originally intended.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The primary reason that Thomas Sowell books are so valuable is that his assertions are obtained via an enormous amount of background research. He’s not just preaching at you, he’s evaluating lots of data to reach logical conclusions. Furthermore, the data he studies tends not to be flashy or esoteric, it’s just the kind that gets ignored by most people … diamonds in the rough that merely need a little coaxing to provide solid insights into otherwise confusing phenomena. I wish we had 100 more Thomas Sowells!
