À propos de ce contenu audio

Economic Facts and Fallacies is designed for people who want to understand economic issues without getting bogged down in economic jargon, graphs, or political rhetoric. Writing in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues, including many that are widely disseminated in the media and by politicians: fallacies about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, academia, race, and Third World countries.

While all of these fallacies have a certain plausibility that gives them their staying power, this makes it even more important to carefully examine their flaws. Sowell holds these beliefs under the microscope and draws conclusions that are sure to inspire rigorous debate.

Commentaires

"Sowell is fearless and invariably so far ahead of the curve in discussing economics or politics or pretty much anything that the rest of us are left with eating his intellectual dust. I can't think of a higher compliment that that." (Fred Barnes, Executive Editor, Weekly Standard)

I am not an economist and yet, Mr Sowell managed to captivate me with his great writing and thought provoking analysis. I highly recommend this book, my second from this author, and cannot wait to read his other publications. Well written, easy to understand and the narrator has a pleasant voice.

Excellent book, very insightful

Besides the fact that it’s obsolete (most recent data: 2004), it’s hard to follow. But ideal if you want to know how extreme Republicans work with biased anecdotes and numbers.
