Publisher's Summary

This is a collection of Walter Williams’ essays, drawn from his syndicated column. Williams writes with brilliant clarity––and he doesn’t mince words. He destroys a number of prevailing myths, such as economic and social disparities being the result of racism and economic sanctions punishing the South African blacks more that the whites. Williams explains why the nature of congressmen is not to act in the national interest and shows how government regulations hinder rather than help the disadvantaged.

Listening to these columns is both entertaining and enlightening.

What the critics say

“Walter is (1) black, (2) opposed to the liberal cult, (3) talks sense, and (4) shows a sense of humor in his writings. This book is a real antidote to the prevailing mush of our times.” (Thomas Sowell, New York Times best-selling author)

An interesting perspective

definitely a worthwhile read, it does at times get bogged down in the matters of its day. this can be a little tiresome as some of these chapters have come to a resounding close. still it is interesting to see that not all of Walter's opinions have aged like wine.

overall an intelligent and at times charming examination of the economic forces and principles that underscore many of the challenges we face both as individuals and as the societies and civilizations we build.

it is sad to know that there will be no more great insights from this great mind. Walter's passing was truly a loss for the world.
