Description
Thomas Sowell's Intellectuals and Society examines the influence of modern intellectuals on society. This study analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views have emerged, shedding light on how often they have been proved wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society. The book explores the track record of intellectuals in shaping public opinion and its impact on democratic societies. It also delves into the surprising ways in which intellectuals' views have remained unchanged despite empirical evidence of disasters entailed by those views. This revised edition, featuring four new chapters on intellectuals and race, offers a comprehensive analysis of this complex topic. With its enlarged size and added chapters, Intellectuals and Society provides a detailed exploration of the role of intellectuals in modern society, making it an essential read for those interested in political science, history, and social science.
