Discrimination and Disparities
Author: Thomas Sowell

An enlarged edition of Thomas Sowell's brilliant examination of the origins of economic disparities — Economic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations.

Others believe that those who...  more » are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.

Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. This revised and enlarged edition also analyzes the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of these disparities and the policies based on that vision--from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.  « less
