À propos de cet audio

 Economic Facts and Fallacies is designed for people who want to understand economic issues without getting bogged down in economic jargon, graphs, or political rhetoric. Writing in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues, including many that are widely disseminated in the media and by politicians: fallacies about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, academia, race, and Third World countries.

While all of these fallacies have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying power, this makes it even more important to carefully examine their flaws. Sowell holds these beliefs under the microscope and draws conclusions that are sure to inspire rigorous debate.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Sowell is fearless and invariably so far ahead of the curve in discussing economics or politics or pretty much anything that the rest of us are left with eating his intellectual dust. I can't think of a higher compliment that that." (Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, Weekly Standard)

Throughout the book I thought: “People, myself included, don’t think or see beyond their noses compared to what I’m hearing. We’re oblivious and quite satisfied with that.” Thomas Sowell’s active way of thinking is an inspiration.

I am not always agree with writer with my limited knowledge , but I really enjoy his vast knowledge and great addition to all aspects of Economy.
Entire book is great reading and deeply informative but the section I was connected the most was the section of the book which was referring to Fallacies in Universities and the way current system have been set up in favor of some professors and colleges at cost of others.

Thanks for another great book. Whoever wants to add to his or her knowledge, this is another great book which is must read and have to analyze impartially.

many things are believed by people who are unfamiliar with the facts and ideas that are presented in this book. believing and ordering our lives around fallacies is one of the reasons many of us are not able to rise above our situation. moreover we end up believing things about others that are not true. we all need to be reading books like this. education is not just reading books a reading the right kind of books with full and correct information

Thomas Sowell isn't afraid to expose the world of illusion we create for ourselves simply because we want things to be a certain way contrary to reality.

Clear minded, realistic and truthful

Essential Economic Wisdom

If people of all walks of life took the opportunity to read or listen to this book - debates surrounding public policy and economy could much more effectively address problems. Political Correctness has been the ideology to follow and has led to the problems being unresolved for decades. If Political Correctness continues to be followed, those problems will drag on for decades yet.

Every person needs to hear this

Here Thomas Sowell challenges deeply ingrained notions about the world today, as usual, with evidence.

No one can listen to this book without having serious doubts about what we are told by so-called experts.

I got this book because I wanted to learn more about economics. I didn't know anything about the author. Almost as soon as I started reading I started picking up on the most obvious flawed logic. It wasn't until I got about half way through and fed up that I looked up the author and realized his history of incorrectly misinterpreting the data to fit his preconceived ideas. Do not waste your time on this
