Thomas Sowell
Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study (Yale Nota Bene)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this important book, an eminent authority presents a new perspective on affirmative action, investigating its actual consequences in the United States and in other countries where it has been in effect. Evaluating his empirical data, Thomas Sowell concludes that race preference programs worldwide have not met expectations and have often produced the opposite of what was originally intended. “A delight: terse, well-argued, and utterly convincing.”— Economist “Among 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. . . .

Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book moves the discussion of affirmative action beyond the United States to other countries that have had similar policies, often for a longer time than Americans have. It also moves the discussion beyond the theories, principles, and laws that have been so often debated to the actual empirical consequences of affirmative action in the United States and in India, Nigeria, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and other countries. Both common patterns and national differences are examined. Much of what emerges froma factual examination of these policies flatly contradicts much of what was expected and much of what has been claimed. [detailed...]
