About This Book

Thomas Sowell explores the ideological origins of political struggles by identifying two contrasting 'visions' of human nature: the constrained and the unconstrained. He argues that these fundamental assumptions about human capabilities and the nature of knowledge drive enduring conflicts over justice, equality, and power.
