cassiakarin 's review for:
A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles
by Thomas Sowell
Allow me to simply relay a text message to you which I sent to the friend who recommended this book to me on her year-end book review list:
Wow! I finally got to reading Sowell’s Conflict of Visions (feeling desperate to try to understand the other side of the [political] aisle right now!)
I knew it would be helpful, but WOW! I didn’t know a book could simultaneous expound and solidify my ardent beliefs while at the same time make me more sympathetic and generous to the opposing positions!
So so so helpful! And I’m only on chapter 4!
I’m listening to the audio- ”Included with prime.”! Who knew?!
I think every high schooler should study this book.
To be fair, I have not finished this book…yet, but I did make it through much of the primary material. I said in the text above that I believe every high schooler should study this book, but now I would extend that to college students too.
This book was a difficult read for me—philosophically. Sowell’s writing is not particularly difficult, and his ideas make very logical and quite profound sense—which is why I heartily recommend this book—but it takes a bit of effort. This book is needed more than ever in our very divided nation. Go get it.
Audible Note: This book is “included with Prime.”
