“A very readable history of the social and economic evolution of the American people, from colonial times to the twentieth century.” –Thomas Sowell
By far the best guide to colleges, including the presence or absence of political correctness. Shows little-known colleges with outstanding education and big-name institutions with little or no curriculum.
An excellent and very readable introduction to the use of economic analysis in general, with urban problems as the focus. A few graphs and a few technical terms may bother some people with no knowledge of economics but even they can get something from this book.
Devastating facts contradicting popular liberal notions. Ideal for de-programming students who have been indoctrinated in schools and colleges.
One of the best debunkings of fashionable beliefs about Third World countries and foreign aid by an economist with both sharp insights and personal experience.
A factual study of the actual consequences of New Deal welfare state programs, in painful contrast to their rhetoric.
A history of the events and misconceptions that led to World War II. Very relevant to the misconceptions of our own time, which are remarkably similar.
A complete history of the United States, political and economic, foreign and domestic by one of the best writers and best minds of our time.
An incisive and brutally honest eye-witness account of the social degeneracy created by the welfare state among the white underclass in Britain-- remarkably similar to the social pathology in American ghettoes but without such supposed causes as slavery or racism.
A must-read book for anyone who wants to understand the actual consequences of our policies toward Mexican immigration and toward people of Mexican ancestry in the United States. A gem for its combination of knowledge, insight, compassion, and utter frankness on a subject too often discussed elsewhere in political spin and media cant.
A wise and knowledgeable international history of the past two centuries by one of the most readable and accomplished writers of our time.
A scholarly but readable history of the rise of both Western and non-Western civilizations from ancient times to the present.
An illustrated coffee-table book with the inspiring story of the American inventions that revolutionized life in the United States and beyond.
An account of the reasons for Latin America's economic lags far behind the United States, Western Europe or Japan. Written by a man who once believed conventional explanations before he went to live in Latin America as an official trying to help its economic development.
A small book presenting a top scholar's very readable account of the history that led the Islamic world from its pinnacles of achievement in the past to its present pathology and poisonous and dangerous hatreds.
“Another and very different example of the welfare state’s actual consequences is The New Trail of Tears by Naomi Schaefer Riley. It is a painful but eye-opening account of life on American Indian reservations. People on those reservations have been taken care of by the federal government for more than a hundred years. They have lived in a welfare state longer than any other minority in America. What have been the consequences? One consequence is that they have lower incomes than any other minority — including other American Indians, who do not live on reservations, and who are doing far better on their own. The economic plight of people on the reservations is by no means the worst of it. The social problems are heart-breaking. As just one example, the leading cause of death, among American Indian boys from 10 to 14 years of age, is suicide.” –Thomas Sowell
“On racial issues in general, the best economic survey is Race and Economics by Professor Walter Williams of George Mason University. Just the table on page 35, showing unemployment rates among black and white teenagers, going all the way back to 1948, should demolish all the rhetoric and spin that tries to conceal the deadly effects of minimum wage laws on unemployment among black teenagers. No community is better off for having large numbers of idle young males, hanging around with nothing to do except getting into trouble. Many other issues are covered in Professor Williams’s book, including racial discrimination in general and the effects of various government interventions in the economy which disproportionately create problems for low-income minorities.” –Thomas Sowell
“As regards black Americans, there is much talk about the role of police. If you want a book that cuts through the rhetoric and confusion, and deals with hard facts, then The War on Cops by Heather Mac Donald does precisely that.” –Thomas Sowell
Essays explaining in plain English the reasons for the various provisions in the Constitution of the United States by three men who helped write the Constitution. A rare combination of wisdom, knowledge and common sense.
