About this product

Product Information

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 pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites,the anointed,have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.

Reviews
"As always, Sowell's analysis is well informed and displays a great deal of that increasingly uncommon quality, common sense ... In the largest sense, The Vision of the Anointed is a book about the perils of ideology -- those dazzling intellectual-moral constructions that seduce the unwary into ignoring the way the world works for the sake of dreams about the way it must."-- Roger Kimball , The American Spectator, "Mr. Sowell's eye is sharp, and everyone who has been up against progressive orthodoxy will find his or her own candidate for Most Annoying Liberal Kiss-Off Award."-- Suzanne Garment , Washington Times, "This is as compelling an explanation as any for the seemingly disproportionate amount of condescension and politically correct invective that emanates from the liberal side of the political spectrum toward the conservative opposition."-- Scott McConnell , Wall Street Journal

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

    Thomas Sowell delivers again with another brilliant book!

    Sowell is an incredible intellectual who explains how the social policies of the last 50 years or so have damaged the black family and community at large. He discusses the implications of politicians who claim to care about African Americans but design programs and policies that have in fact harmed them instead of the good results that were promised. The author doesn't get as much recognition as some other African American thinkers of our day, but Sowell stands above the rest in intellectual stature. Highly recommend.

    Thomas Sowell nails it again!

    The book is great because Thomas Sowell explains how the people in power keep making mistakes in judgement that has produced a cumulative effect of problems our Country now faces.
