Discrimination and Disparities challenges believers in such one-factor explanations of economic outcome differences as discrimination, exploitation, or genetics.

In his devastating new book The Madness of Crowds, Douglas Murray examines the 21st century’s most divisive issues: sexuality, gender, technology and race.

We are living through a postmodern era in which the grand narratives of religion and political ideology have collapsed.

Dieses Buch ist ein Warnruf an alle Europäer! Kurt Tucholsky schrieb 1931: "Das Volk versteht das meiste falsch; aber es fühlt das meiste richtig." Immer mehr Menschen fühlen, dass die Zukunft Deutschlands und Europas in Gefahr ist, verstehen jedoch noch nicht die Ursachen. Deshalb muss das ganze Ausmaß von Täuschung und Fremdbestimmung offengelegt werden. Nur so können wir erkennen, was uns heute bedroht, warum gegen den Mehrheitswillen offenkundig regiert wird und was wir dagegen tun können.

In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in the country, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America.

This reissue of Thomas Sowell’s classic study of decision making, which includes a preface by the author, updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Anointed. Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society.

Economic Facts and Fallacies is designed for people who want to understand economic issues without getting bogged down in economic jargon, graphs, or political rhetoric. Writing in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues, including many that are widely disseminated in the media and by politicians.

Applied Economics is an accessible guide to how our economic decisions develop. It explains the application of economics to major world problems, including housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations.

Thomas Sowell has a different idea about how economics should be taught. With this groundbreaking introduction to economics, Sowell has thrown out the graphs, statistics, and jargon.

It's focus has become more international, including the range of economic problems faced by foreign countries around the world.

Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom (1962) is an overview of some of the ideas that made Friedman one of the most influential economists in history. Although John F. Kennedy’s 1961 call to the American people, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country”, was one of the most famous messages of the decade, it was also bad advice....
