Wealth, poverty and politics : an international perspective

Sowell, Thomas, 1930-2016
Books, Manuscripts
In 'Wealth, Poverty, and Politics', Thomas Sowell, one of the foremost conservative public intellectuals in the United States, argues that political and ideological struggles have led to dangerous confusion about income inequality in America. Refuting Thomas Piketty, Paul Krugman and others on the left, Sowell draws on accurate empirical data to show that the inequality is not nearly as extreme or sensational as we have been led to believe. Transcending partisanship through a careful examination of data, he reveals the truth about the most explosive political issue of our time.
