Unabridged: 4 hr 3 min

Synopsis

Armed with vast statistical research, economist Thomas Sowell deftly refutes the key assumptions on which the civilrights movement as we know it today was erected, that discrimination leads to poverty and other adverse social consequences and . . . that adverse statistical disparities imply discrimination. He probes with an almost surgical precision the fundamental racial issues of affirmative action.
