Average Customer Review: 
Summary: Well thought out and solid arguments
Date: 2008-12-29 - 
Comment: Certainly no doubt about the author's viewpoint and solid facts. Would love to read a book about where the exceptions of supply and demand do not apply.
Summary: The false use of statistics
Date: 2008-12-16 -
Comment: This book is not exactly an easy read but it is absolutely worth reading. In fact anyone who votes should be required to read it before they do so.
Summary: Classic Sowell. Excellent insight, excellent book.
Date: 2008-12-15 - 
Comment: Sowell offers invaluable insight into what we know or, more importantly, what we think we know about economics. Things aren't always as they seem and certainly aren't always as we are led to believe.
Anyone who has ever read Sowell (books or columns) knows that he is a talented writer and cuts quickly to the point while methodically supporting it with overwhelming evidence. The larger purpose of this book is to help readers become more critical thinkers rather than mindless consumers of information and ultimately to have the courage to turn inward when seeking solutions.
I particularly enjoyed the Income & Third World chapters. Either alone makes the book well worth your time.
Summary: This guy is dead on.
Date: 2008-12-12 -
Comment: Sowell does not worry about being politically correct. This guy cuts to the chase like no one else.
Have your expectations set correctly - this is a business book about economics, it's not a simple read.

Summary: The Book Your Friends Need to Read
Date: 2008-10-24 -
Comment: Easy to understand, EVERYONE needs to read this book. Once again, Sowell exposes the fallacies (as he calls them) of many social and economic perceptions pushed by the Left. His points are simple and extremely relevant, backed up by several dozen factual references for each chapter. Perfect gift for your friends who refuse to concede the failures of Big Government social policies! This book should be a staple in your library.
