Discrimination and disparities / Thomas Sowell. by Sowell, Thomas, 1930- Basic Books, 2019. Call #: 339.2 S731d Subjects Income distribution.   Discrimination -- Economic aspects.   Minorities -- United States -- Economic conditions.   Minorities -- Economic aspects -- United States.   Race discrimination -- United States. ISBN:  9781541645639 (hc.) Edition:  1st revised ed. Description:  viii, 308 p. ; 25 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-282) and index. Contents:  Disparities and prerequisites -- Discrimination: meanings and costs -- Sorting and unsorting people -- The world of numbers -- The world of words -- Social visions and human consequences -- Facts, assumptions and goals. Summary:  "In this new, revised and enlarged edition, Discrimination and Disparities goes beyond its analysis--in the first edition--of the sources of disparities and the different kinds of discrimination. It deals with undeniable fact of gross disparities in opportunity, without succumbing to the 'social justice' vision of our time--a vision with demonstrably false assumptions, and solutions that may not even be possible, in any comprehensive and sustainable sense. Instead, some more modest but feasible options are examined."--Dust jacket.
