Synopsis "Discrimination and Disparities "

An enlarged edition of Thomas Sowell's brilliant examination of the origins of economic disparitiesEconomic and other outcomes differ vastly among individuals, groups, and nations. Many explanations have been offered for the differences. Some believe that those with less fortunate outcomes are victims of genetics. Others believe that those who are less fortunate are victims of the more fortunate.Discrimination and Disparities gathers a wide array of empirical evidence to challenge the idea that different economic outcomes can be explained by any one factor, be it discrimination, exploitation, or genetics. This revised and enlarged edition also analyzes the human consequences of the prevailing social vision of these disparities and the policies based on that vision--from educational disasters to widespread crime and violence.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most recognized American liberal thinkers and economists, and one of the greatest scourges of "politically correct" thought.

He graduated in Economics from Harvard University in 1958 and obtained a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned a PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago.

He worked for decades in administration, academia, and business, until joining the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in 1980, where he is a professor. In 2002, he received the National Humanities Medal, awarded by the President of the United States.

He is the author of numerous books that have been translated into more than twelve languages. In Spanish, he has published Positive Discrimination in the World (Gota a Gota Ediciones, 2006), Conflict of Visions (Gedisa, 2009) and at Deusto, The Economy: Truths and Lies (2008), Basic Economics (2013), and Fallacies of Social Justice (2024).
