Synopsis

This is a collection of Walter Williams essays, drawn from his syndicated column. Williams writes with brilliant clarityand he doesnt mince words. He destroys a number of prevailing myths, such as economic and social disparities being the result of racism and economic sanctions punishing the South African blacks more that the whites. Williams explains why the nature of congressmen is not to act in the national interest and shows how government regulations hinder rather than help the disadvantaged. Listening to these columns is both entertaining and enlightening.

This is a great collection of columns written by Walter Williams in the eighties. He does a great job of showing how government consistently takes money from one person to give to another. Their intentions may seem noble but they’ve failed to get results. After billions in spending on poverty progra......more

Goodreads review by Richard on November 02, 2020

Several of his syndicated columns from the 1980s that seem to play well today. I don't agree with all of his thoughts, but, mostly, his political ideology and statistical and anecdotal evidence is solid.......more
