Economic Facts and Fallacies

In Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues, including beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians. He subjects common assumptions about urban life, gender, academia, income, race, and developing countries to the test of hard facts. Sowell demonstrates how these plausible-sounding but flawed ideas lead to policies with devastating real-world consequences.
