A review by noirla1939
Social Justice Fallacies by Thomas Sowell
4.0
I wished I liked this book more, but I think that's because I listened to it via audiobook and that didn't quite make a good experience when there's so much information being thrown at me, most of it I could sense was important and insightful, but that I couldn't grab a hold of because I was distracted by other tasks as I was listening to Sowell's words.
Make no mistake: Thomas Sowell is one of the most underrated intellectuals of the 20th century in that he appeals to facts and logic rather than get caught up in ideology. Ironically, most of his critics consider him an ideologue, which just shows the precarious state the world is in when citing facts can brand you an ideologue. Of course, I don't agree with most of everything Sowell says in this book. He has this one section in which he talks about how sex education is a factor in high teen pregnancy, which sounds questionable. Nonetheless, Sowell does make an effort to lay out his arguments thoroughly.
"Social Justice Fallacies" dares to go against the mainstream narrative most social justice activists and progressive intellectuals tout and it's important to get the other side of things so as not to cloud your judgement.
Sometimes the book jumps through various topics that it can be hard to keep track, but I think it'll serve me well to actually sit down with the book and try to digest through it all.
