Description
Thomas Sowell presents a new perspective on affirmative action, investigating its actual consequences in the United States and in other countries where it has been in effect. This book evaluates the empirical data, concluding that race preference programs worldwide have not met expectations and have often produced the opposite of what was originally intended. A renowned economist and social theorist, Thomas Sowell, examines the true effects of affirmative action around the globe. His analysis is instructive and illuminating, and disturbing. Sowell's work is a brilliant and learned analysis of the negative effects of racially preferential policies in several countries. This book is a compelling and important work that deserves to be read by anyone interested in understanding the complexities of affirmative action.
