Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One by Thomas Sowell

2.0

I've read some of Sowell's other books and in some he does a good job of putting across libertarian and old style liberal ideas. The objective here is the same but it is far more outlandishly partisan than other work I've read. The descriptions (take the health chapter for example) are so one-sided they are laughable.

Sadly this undermines his argument significantly and it makes for agonizing reading. This is not a useful contribution to the debate.

Lastly, the title makes this sounds like a textbook: it really isn't...
