An empirical examination of how economic and other disparities arise
Economic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.
Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence from to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation or genetics.
It is readable enough for people with no prior knowledge of economics. Yet the empirical evidence with which it backs up its analysis spans the globe and challenges beliefs across the ideological spectrum.
The point of Discrimination and Disparities is not to recommend some particular policy "fix" at the end, but to clarify why so many policy fixes have turned out to be counterproductive, and to expose some seemingly invincible fallacies--behind many counterproductive policies.

一本小書,但開頭已經很驚艷。值得快速翻看,從一個新角度理解政策以及它們的 down stream effects“
評分Long time reader of Thoms Sowell's works, this is another plainly written and well-reasoned piece! The book offers an empirical examination of how economic and other disparities arise and compares the intended effects of government policies with factual results. A much-needed work in the era of identity politics, a detailed book review will follow.
