About this listen

 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.

Critic Reviews

"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)

Another excellent addition to Thomas Sowell’s series on economics. Makes a complex and dry subject interesting and understandable

It’s got some good information but it doesn’t give you a plan to stop using caffeine and doesn’t give enough information about the true long term effects off caffeine and the benefits after stopping use.

Content is very thought provoking, but it does read very much like a textbook. My attempts at sharing this crucial perspective with others has been a hard sell!

Worthwhile listen
