Prawdopodobnie nigdy w dziejach ludzkości intelektualiści nie odgrywali w społeczeństwie większej roli niż obecnie. Kiedy elity wytwarzające idee otoczone są licznym wianuszkiem osób, które rozpowszechniają owe idee dziennikarzami, nauczycielami, [] ustawodawcami, urzędnikami, sędziami oraz innymi przedstawicielami inteligencji ich wpływ na kierunek ewolucji społecznej może być znaczący, a nawet decydujący.

The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late
ISBN: 9780465081417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

Say's Law--the idea that "supply creates its own demand"--has been a basic concept in economics for almost two centuries.
