Download The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy AudioBook Free
In this devastating critique of the way of thinking behind the failed social policies of days gone by 30 years, Thomas Sowell views what has took place not as some isolated blunders, but as a logical consequence of any perspective whose defects have resulted in disasters in education, criminal offenses, family disintegration, and more. This is an empirical research in which "politically correct" theory is frequently confronted with facts, and the razor-sharp contradictions between your two are described in terms of a couple of self-congratulatory assumptions placed by political and intellectual elites. These elites - the anointed - often consider themselves "thinking people," but this thinking is actually rhetorical assertion, followed by evasions of mounting proof against these assertions. The perspective of the anointed is seen not only as a failure but as a fatal risk to the ideals and the continuing future of American society.
