Summary

This is a collection of Walter Williams’ essays, drawn from his syndicated column. Williams writes with brilliant clarity––and he doesn’t 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.

Critic reviews

“Walter is (1) black, (2) opposed to the liberal cult, (3) talks sense, and (4) shows a sense of humor in his writings. This book is a real antidote to the prevailing mush of our times.” (Thomas Sowell, New York Times best-selling author)

Incredible book, but poor recording quality. Still worth it.

And incredible book from an incredible man.

Unfortunately, although Peter Kjenaas was a good narrator, the studio does not seem to be soundproof, which means you can hear what sounds like another recording in the background. It’s very faint so you can still hear the audiobook throughout, it’s just a little distracting, and disappointing from a professional studio.

Economic analysis at it's finest

Walter Williams is an American treasure, a man of immense intellect, scathing analysis and rigorous critique. He looks at many complicated topics both Economic and Social and cuts through them in a way that avoids generalization easy answers and tropes.
