The sources range from Dr. Sowell's letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from late-talking children to tax cuts for the rich, baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are dealt with by sometimes drawing on history, sometimes drawing on economics, and sometimes drawing on a sense of humor. <p/><i>The Thomas Sowell Reader</i> includes essays on: * Social Issues* Economics* Political Issues* Legal Issues* Race and Ethnicity* Educational Issues* Biographical Sketches* Random Thoughts <p/> My hope is that this large selection of my writings will reduce the likelihood that readers will misunderstand what I have said on many controversial issues over the years. Whether the reader will agree with all my conclusions is another question entirely. But disagreements can be productive, while misunderstandings seldom are. -- Thomas Sowell<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>America's best writer on economics, particularly when that discipline intersects with politics.--<i><b>World</b></i><br><br>It's a scandal that economist Thomas Sowell has not been awarded the Nobel Prize.
