About this product

Product Information

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.

"Another brilliant, bracing achievement by Thomas Sowell. With characteristic lucidity, erudition, and depth, Sowell examines the true effects of affirmative action around the globe. This book is compelling, important, mind-opening."-Amy Chua, author ofWorld on Fire:How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability, "Among contemporary economists and social theorists, one of the most prolific, intellectually independent, and iconoclastic is Thomas Sowell. . . . Enormously learned, wonderfully clear-headed, he sees reality as it is, and flinches at no truth. . . . Sowell's presentation of the data is instructive and illuminating--and disturbing."--Carl Cohen, Commentary, "Another brilliant, bracing achievement by Thomas Sowell.

    Spot on

    Tom Sowell is a genius in providing the facts, figures, and reality in a wishful thinking world.

    I answer in the affirmative.

    Great Book and Great service!!!!Super Deal. Thomas Sowell dispels the difference between reality and fantasy. Even when something sounds good and what is the actual effect in reality. Is it really helping or is it hurting. I think the evidence will be suprising to readers and supporters of this type of policies.
