About this listen

These wide-ranging essays - on many individual political, economic, cultural, and legal issues - have as a recurring, underlying theme the decline of the values and institutions that have sustained and advanced American society for more than two centuries. This decline has been more than erosion. It has, in many cases, been a deliberate dismantling of American values and institutions by people convinced that their superior wisdom and virtue must override both the traditions of the country and the will of the people.

Whether these essays (originally published as syndicated newspaper columns) are individually about financial bailouts, illegal immigrants, gay marriage, national security, or the Duke University rape case, the underlying concern is about what these very different kinds of things say about the general direction of American society.

This larger and longer-lasting question is whether the particular issues discussed reflect a degeneration or dismantling of the America that we once knew and expected to pass on to our children and grandchildren. There are people determined that this country’s values, history, laws, traditions, and role in the world are fundamentally wrong and must be changed. Such people will not stop dismantling America unless they get stopped—and the next election may be the last time to stop them, before they take the country beyond the point of no return.

Recently discovered Thomas Sowell several years ago. What an absolute treasure.!
He makes you revaluate the way that you’ve seen things in the past, and how easily we neglect the past.

Brilliant

Thomas Sowell is an American treasure. I'm so sad that I didn't "find" him sooner. A true gentleman and a scholar. I will read this again.

Thomas Sowel is probably the smartest person on earth. This is a look at large systems, mostly impacting US. There is not a better book that explains the world as we know it in recent times.

Great book

Easy listen because it is short essays and some points are repeated in different essays but all in all Thomas Sowell is brilliant, insightful, and direct. If you want to hear the truth about the PC cancel culture, a simple economic rationale for why the Democrats will drive this country into poverty, the truth about Obama's presidency, and other things; then this is for you.

Sowell is Brilliant!

Great collection of essays, but some of it seemed less informed and just political ranting

Controversial

Hard to swallow but generally good for you. At times even necessary. Here's to your health.

Common sense is at times like bitter medicine

the best book I ever heard, thank you Mr.Sowell. Now I know why the left hate you.

Thank you Mr. Sowell

While this was written in Obama's presidency, almost all of it is still (sadly) applicable today. I would say this is for anyone looking for secure their understanding and or those who only listen to MSM and need they're eyes opened.

A great listen from a great man
