Marxism (Routledge Revivals): Philosophy and Economics
ISBN: 9780415687898 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1985, Thomas Sowell's book is a crisp, lucid and commonsensical introduction to Marx's own writings and to Marxist theory.

The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late
ISBN: 9780465081417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then must see them lumped into special classes and...

ISBN: 9780465096763 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, examines the reasons for large differences in income and wealth between nations and among groups within nations. A wide range of geographic, demographic, cultural, and political factors are examined, not to find a single factor or a single combination of factors that will explain all economic differences, but to show how particular combinations of factors limit or expand the possibilities for specific nations and peoples at specific times and places. Dr. Sowell also examines some...

A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles
ISBN: 9780465002054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the "constrained" vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained" vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible. He describes how these two radically opposed views have manifested themselves in the political controversies of the past two centuries, including such contemporary issues as welfare reform, social justice, and crime. Updated to include sweeping political changes since its first...

ISBN: 9780465022038 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics. These fallacies include many beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians, such as fallacies about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, as well as economic fallacies about academia, about race, and about Third World countries.
Sowell shows that fallacies are not simply crazy ideas but in fact have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying... In Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues in a lively manner that does no...

With a new preface by the author, this reissue of Thomas Sowell's classic study of decision making updates his seminal work in the context of The Vision of the Annointed, Sowell, one of America's most celebrated public intellectuals, describes in concrete detail how knowledge is shared and disseminated throughout modern society.

Social Justice Fallacies
ISBN: 9781541603929 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed. However attractive the social justice vision, the...

This much revised and reorganized edition of Intellectuals and Society is more than half again larger than the first edition. Four new chapters have been added on intellectuals and race, including a chapter on race and intelligence. These new chapters show the radically different views of race prevailing among the intelligentsia at the beginning of the twentieth century and at the end-- and yet how each of these opposite views of race had the same dogmatic quality and the same refusal to countenance differing opinions among their contemporaries, much less engage dissenting...

Dyskryminacja i Nierówności
ISBN: 9788367272056 / Polski / miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Dyskryminacja i Nierówności rzuca wyzwanie osobom wierzącym w to, że da się wyjaśnić różnice w zakresie rezultatów ekonomicznych za pomocą wyłącznie jednego czynnika, jak dyskryminacja, wyzysk czy genetyka.

Nie chodzi o to, by proponować jakąś konkretną poprawkę polityczną, ale by wyjaśnić, dlaczego tak wiele poprawek okazało się kontrproduktywnych, a także, by zdemaskować pewne pozornie niemożliwe do...

The Quest for Cosmic Justice
ISBN: 9780684864631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is not a comforting book -- it is a book about disturbing issues that are urgently important today and enduringly critical for the future. It rejects both "merit" and historical redress as principles for guiding public policy. It shows how "peace" movements have led to war and to needless casualties in those wars. It argues that "equality" is neither right nor wrong, but meaningless.

ISBN: 9780691646435 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Say's Law--the idea that "supply creates its own demand"--has been a basic concept in economics for almost two centuries. Thomas Sowell traces its evolution as it emerged from successive controversies, particularly two of the most bitter and long lasting in the history of the discipline, the "general glut controversy" that reached a peak in the 1820s, and the Keynesian Revolution of the 1930s. These controversies not only involved almost every noted economist of the time but had repercussions on basic economic theory, methodology, and sociopolitical theory. This book, the first...

Bieda, bogactwo i polityka w ujęciu globalnym
ISBN: 9788364599422 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. W książce Bieda, bogactwo i polityka w ujęciu globalnym, wybitny ekonomista Thomas Sowell przypomina, że wbrew przekonaniom lewicowych intelektualistów nierówności dochodów i bogactwa nie są na świecie niczym nowym, a ich istnienie nie powinno nikogo zdumiewać. W mediach dominują dziś alarmujące statystyki, oburzające rozwarstwienie społeczne i niesławny 1%. Retoryka ta kompletnie ignoruje najistotniejszą przyczynę nierówności – produkcję bogactwa. Nierówności dochodowych nie sposób pojąć nie uwzględniając determinujących je czynników geograficznych,...
