A black youth from an humble background enters the service, goes to college and becomes a learned man, an economist. His insights into the ways of the American Left are the stuff of common sense backed up by fact, well documented in this book. I was particularly taken by his comments referring to the fact that the left considers any opinion contrary to theirs as morally inferior. Written years ago this is spot-on in today's political debate.

I've read several of Sowell's works, dealing primarily with economics so I wasn't sure about the topic of this book since it seemed somewhat different from his professional expertise. I was wrong. This is by far the best explanation of why many things are the way they are. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever wondered about the motives or reasoning of the Washington elite. Clear and easily grasped, each chapter pulls back the curtain of progressive thought further and further. A must-have reference in any Patriot's library.
very good book, looks at allot of areas that you may miss that hasn't come to light !!!!!!!!!

As usual, Sowell pulls no punches and tells it like it is. Not for those who see themselves as victims.
