Publisher's Summary
This book is geared to the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues. Many of today's economic issues are obscured by their inherent complexity and the often confusing and conflicting views coming from political talking heads. Sowell, a leading conservative economist and senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, seeks to alleviate this confusion. He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long-term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real-world problems - housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations.

An economic view on how the world works.
Although the book is new, it provides a refreshing and long term view on the reasons for why the world works the way it does. This is, at times, glaringly at odds with the often irrational arguments that pervades our current discourse.

Another masterpiece by Mr Sowell
This book is a very easy listen and great follow up to his basic economics book.

Another excellent work from Thomas Sowell
If I were minister of education I would make economics a compulsory subject in senior high school and T Sowell’s Basic Economics would be the text. This book would be perfect for the following year. I do prefer the narrator in Basic Economics however

Worth your dollar
Excellent explanation of complex systems of interest.
Some of these ideas are also covered in Basic Economics.
