Evaluating his empirical data, Thomas Sowell concludes that race preference programmes worldwide have not met expectations and have often produced the opposite of what was originally intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA delight: terse, well-argued, and utterly convincing.\u003c\/em\u003e — Economist\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmong contemporary economists and social theorists, one of the most prolific, intellectually independent, and iconoclastic is Thomas Sowell. Enormously learned, wonderfully clear-headed, he sees reality as it is, and flinches at no truth. Sowell's presentation of the data is instructive and illuminating — and disturbing. — Carl Cohen, Commentary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnother brilliant, bracing achievement by Thomas Sowell. With characteristic lucidity, erudition, and depth, Sowell examines the true effects of affirmative action around the globe. This book is compelling, important, mind-opening. — Amy Chua, author of \u003cem\u003eWorld on Fire: How Exporting Free Market Democracy Breeds Ethnic Hatred and Global Instability\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA masterpiece that deserves to be one of the most influential books of our time.
