Race and Culture: A World View (Revised)

From renowned economist Thomas Sowell, an examination of why different races and cultures succeed or fail

"A robust, neo-conservative romp through the minefield of contemporary race relations." — New York Times

What causes differences between ethnic groups and cultures? Why do some seem to succeed while others struggle?

In this classic book, renowned economist Thomas Sowell answers these questions and more as he dispels common misconceptions about the causes of success—or failure—for different races and cultures.

Key Highlights:

• Decades of Research: Encompassing more than a decade of research conducted around the globe.
• Focus on Cultural Capital: Sowell argues that cultural capital has far more impact than politics, prejudice, or genetics on the social and economic fates of minorities, nations, and civilizations.
• Debunking Misconceptions: Challenges widely-held beliefs about the factors influencing success and failure across races and cultures.

Bold and compelling, Race and Culture is essential reading for those looking to cut through the muddle of modern racial discourse.
