Sowell, one of America’s most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society. He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making—a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency, but our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an abstract and elitist social vision of what ought to be.Knowledge and Decisions, a winner of the 1980 Law and Economics Center Prize, was heralded as a ”landmark work” and selected for this prize ”because of its cogent contribution to our understanding of the differences between the market process and the process of government.” In announcing the award, the center acclaimed Sowell, whose ”contribution to our understanding of the process of regulation alone would make the book important, but in reemphasizing the diversity and efficiency that the market makes pos

homas Sowell's book is a crisp, lucid and commonsensical introduction to Marx's own writings and to Marxist theory.

Publisher's Note: "This book is a devastating critique of the mindset behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Author Thomas Sowell sees what has happened not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a vision whose defects have led to disasters in education, crime, family disintegration, and other social pathology. This is an empirical study in which 'politically correct' theory is repeatedly contradicted by facts -- and the sharp contradictions between the two explained in terms of a whole set of self-congratulatory assumptions held by political and intellectual elites.
