About this listen
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.
However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.
More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

The G.O.A.T with another master work
You’ll have a hard time refuting the facts Thomas Sowell lays down in each of his books. Always a must read.

Facts as they are
Opinion based on facts, unlike what we see too often today, of opinions based on beliefs

Well researched and much needed viewpoint.
Having been a supporter of the left for many years I have found this book has caused some cognitive disodance in my own world philosophy. It is however well researched and makes points that are difficult to refute. I will continue to read views on both sides of the debate, but I have to admit this book has made me consider shifting and definitely looking closer at the outcomes of public policy.

Succinct Thomas Sowell
Informative and well researched as always, though not as in depth as previous works. Best listened to at 1.2x speed as narration can be painfully slow

Clear demonstrations of facts, bias, and how they can be skewed
Good insight on facts and how they can, and are misrepresented, ignored, or cherry-picked to perpetuate lies and falsehoods.

Classic Thomas Sowell
Feels like coming home. Perfect narrator. Not his most ground breaking by any means. But it’s the Thomas Sowell we’re used to doing what he does best: dropping statistics and making empirical observations to the chagrin of any and all theory.
