Discrimination and inequality

Discrimination and Inequality by Thomas Sowell challenges readers to analyze major social issues such as equality, discrimination and inequality. The author examines a wide range of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by a single factor.

The book examines the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of inequality and the policies based on that vision. Due to the prevalence of paternalistic attitudes in society, reading this book is considered very important.

Author Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He is the author of dozens of books and the recipient of numerous awards, including the National Humanitarian Medal presented by the President of the United States.
