BEST BOOKS WRITTEN BY THOMAS SOWELL: THE LIST

CHARTER SCHOOLS AND THEIR ENEMIES

The black-white achievement gap that has been talked about for so long has already been closed by black students who go to New York City's charter schools. This might be good news for people. In traditional public schools, this has been very bad news. Many of their students are going to charter schools. Teachers' unions, politicians, and other people have led a backlash against charter schools, not just in New York but all over the country. This isn't just in New York. If those attacks work, the biggest losers will be young people from minority groups who need a good education to have a better chance at a better life.

DISCRIMINATION AND DISPARITIES

People, groups, and countries all have very different economic and other results. Many people have come up with different reasons for the differences. Some people think that people who have bad luck because of their genes are to blame. People who aren't rich think that those who aren't rich are victims of the rich.

Discrimination and Disparities looks at a lot of different kinds of evidence to show that different economic outcomes can't be explained by just one thing, like discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. Also, this new and expanded edition looks at the human consequences of the way society sees these differences and the policies that are based on that view, from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.

WEALTH, POVERTY AND POLITICS: AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

One of the top conservative public intellectuals in this country, Thomas Sowell, says that political and ideological differences have led to a lot of people not knowing how much money each person makes in this country. Pundits and politically-motivated economists use ambiguous statistics and sensational theories to make their point, but they don't pay attention to the true source of income inequality: the creation of wealth. We can't fully understand inequality if we only think about how wealth is distributed and not how wealth is made, like geography, demographics, and culture.

Sowell thinks that liberals have a special interest in misreading the data, and he scolds them for using income inequality as an argument for the government to help people. Sowell disagrees with Thomas Piketty, Paul Krugman, and other leftists who say that inequality is much worse than we have been told. Sowell uses accurate empirical data to show that the inequality is not as bad as we have been told.

Wealth, Poverty, and Politics shows us the truth about the most hot-button political issue of our time by looking at data in a careful way.

BASIC ECONOMICS: A COMMON SENSE GUIDE TO THE ECONOMY

Basic Economics is a guide for people who want to know how the economy works but don't want to learn complicated words or equations. It was written for people who don't want to learn complicated words or equations. Thomas Sowell, a best-selling economist, talks about how different types of economic systems work: capitalist, socialist, feudal, and so on. In simple language, he shows how to look at economic policies in terms of the incentives they create, not the goals they say they want to achieve. This is the first book you should read if you want to know how the economy works. It explains everything from rent control and the rise and fall of businesses to the international balance of payments in simple terms.

This fifth edition has a new chapter that explains why countries have very different wealth and income.

Drawing on examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains the basics of economics to people who don't know a lot about it.

These are some quotes from the book Basic Economics.

Some cities have quickly rebuilt after the war. Bombing does more damage in the short term, but many cities have quickly rebuilt after the war." Rent control does more long-term damage because people don't understand how it works.

"Monopoly is bad for efficiency, no matter what kind of government you have."

If a law or policy says its goal is "affordable housing," "fair trade," or "a living wage, it doesn't matter what that goal is."

” What's important are the specifics of these laws and how people respond to them.

We talk about "the rich and the poor" as if we were talking about people who are born, live, and die in poverty or wealth. The reality is that most Americans don't stay in the same income quintile for more than a decade.

"Many seemingly good ideas have backfired because people didn't understand how prices work."

There are a lot of fights about which people and groups get how much of the pie, which is what makes the media and politicians happy.

INTELLECTUALS AND RACE

In the original sense, a radical book is one that goes to the root of the problem. This book is called "Intellectuals and Race." The role of intellectuals in racial conflict is looked at in a way that puts the American experience in a whole new light.

As a group, though, intellectuals have been more likely to agree on a single thing than to agree on many different things. Indeed, these views have clustered at one end of the spectrum in the early twentieth century and then clustered at the other end of the spectrum in the late twentieth century, which is why they're so interesting. People who held very different views of race in these two times were also very different in their views on other things.

Despite having a lot of historical evidence, Intellectuals and Race is not a book about history. It has demographic, geographic, economic, and statistical evidence that is all aimed at testing the assumptions about race that have been held by intellectuals in general and by intellectuals at the highest levels at different times. This isn't just a thought experiment. The impact that intellectuals' ideas and crusades have had on society, both in the past and now, is the most important thing to think about. From racial theories of intelligence to "social justice" and "multiculturalism," these ideas and campaigns have come from all over the world.

These and other issues are looked at in great detail in the book, "Intellectuals and Race." It also looks at the reasons why intellectuals at the top end up making decisions that don't work out well for individual groups of people but for society as a whole.

THE THOMAS SOWELL READER

These are some of the many articles that Thomas Sowell has written over the last 50 years about social, economic, cultural, legal, educational, and political issues. From Dr. Sowell's letters to books to newspaper columns, there are many different sources. Children who don't stop talking at the right time, "tax cuts for the rich," the role of judges and the rhetoric of politicians are all covered in this book. These issues are sometimes looked at through the lens of history, sometimes through the lens of economics, and sometimes through the lens of a good laugh.

INTELLECTUALS AND SOCIETY

In today's world, intellectuals have more power than they did in the past. They also have a very different way of influencing people than those like Machiavelli thought. When modern intellectuals have influenced events, they haven't done so by changing the minds or actions of people in power. Instead, they have shaped public opinion in a way that affects how people in democratic societies act, even if they don't agree with the general vision or specific policies that intellectuals favor. Even government leaders who don't like or don't like intellectuals have had to change their views because of the way those intellectuals have shaped public opinion.

Intellectuals and Society not only looks at how well intellectuals have done in the things they have said, but also how they came up with their ideas and visions. How often intellectuals have been proven not only wrong but also grossly and disastrously wrong in their suggestions for fixing society's problems, and how little they've changed their views when they've seen evidence of the disasters that come with their ideas, and how little their views have changed.
