Critic Reviews:
Sowell writeswith grace and clarity. (Washington Times)
Thomas Sowell is, in my opinion, the most original and interesting philosopher at work in America. I have learned a great deal from him and his new book is full of insights and wisdom. (Paul Johnson, author of Modern Times)
Sowell's scholarship is evident as he examines the interplay of religion, language, education, technology, and other factors in the development of nations.this book bears comparison to Fernand Braudel's A History of Civilization.
