Description
Dismantling America And Other Controversial Essays by Thomas Sowell This collection of essays explores the decline of American values and institutions, tracing the erosion of the country's traditions and institutions over time. Sowell examines a range of issues, from financial bailouts to gay marriage, to understand the underlying direction of American society. Through his analysis, Sowell reveals a concern that the issues discussed reflect a degeneration of the America that once existed. He argues that those who seek to dismantle the country's values and institutions are driven by a conviction that their superior wisdom and virtue must override the traditions and will of the people. The author's essays offer a thought-provoking examination of the general direction of American society, and the implications of this trend for the country's future.
