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. Economics Political Science Politics & Government Racism & Discrimination Social Sciences Social justice Crusade

Even at his age, Thomas Sowell is as insightful as ever. Just as politically correct means lying, social justice means injustice. The social justice warriors have no genuine love for those they serve and as St Paul said, without love it is all meaningless

Very interesting book. Well worth the listen. The author is outstanding. His work is important and authorative. Even more so since he is a member of one of the minority groups social justice purports to help.

Authoritive and we'll worth the listen

Thomas shines the light on the immoral use of the underprivileged as human shields. The social warrior elites’ totalitarian approach is not conducive to our fact based free world. Brilliant read for anyone brainstorming for a way out of the mess the world is in. Thank you for bringing the TRUTH to the arena SoWell.
