Throughout history, the world has witnessed discriminations, hostilities, and injustices. It seems that no matter how much human beings evolve, racism will always be manifested in societies, and the fight against it is far deeper and more complicated than what activists, movements, and organizations like to acknowledge.
In Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell (2021), Jason L. Riley details the views and theories of Thomas Sowell, one of America’s leading conservative economists. Riley presents a thorough and meticulous account of Sowell’s skepticism about some widespread perceptions regarding Blacks, such as the need for racial preferences. Sowell believes that these perceptions have harmed the Black community more than they have helped it. His work also points out flaws in black leadership and movements.
Riley offers a deep look into the character of Sowell and his extremely controversial views on social issues and economic activity.
