I read this book in approximately the same number of day as chapters included in this amazing book. I especially enjoyed reading chaptes 6-8. My intention is to read as many of Mr. Sowell's books as possible. His writings are enhancing my understanding of not only economics; I am gaining advantageously an appreciable understanding on several socialistic topics too. I recommend this book for those interested in culture, race, history, and the causal factors, which brought about numerous conceptions ill-advisedly advancing and prompting numerous barriers, biases, and inequality world-wide. Additionally, this book awakens those of us who have been systematically acculturated or enculturated into believing or accepting conventional wisdom. I suspect, whcih similarly presented in an uncritical and indiscriminating perspective to instilled much of the rancor among cultures and races.
