The Vision of the Anointed
by Thomas Sowell · 1995
★★★★★Editor's Pickintermediate
Sowell dissects the self-congratulatory worldview of progressive intellectuals who believe they know better than the market, better than tradition, and better than ordinary people. He documents how this 'vision' produces catastrophic policy failures — and why its adherents never acknowledge their track record.
