5.0 out of 5 stars He's the best at what he does., December 18, 1999
This review is from: Do the Right Thing: The People's Economist Speaks (HOOVER INST PRESS PUBLICATION) (Paperback)
Over the past 15 years I have read numerous works by many libertarian writers. Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Ayn Rand, Charles Murray, P.J. O'Rourke, Dave Barry, Henry Hazlitt, F.A. Hayek, Ludwig Von Mises, Milton Friedman, Murray Rothbard, Julian Simon, and many others. Walter Williams is my definite favorite libertarian writer. He tells the plain, simple truth in a way that is very easy to understand. He presents the facts in such a way that only a fool could read him and then walk away without becoming a libertarian. This book is pretty much on par with his others. Which is to say, it is excellent. Mr Williams is a true supporter of individual liberty, freedom, private property rights, and strict limits on the size of government. Good for him!

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb Essays, July 11, 1999
This review is from: Do the Right Thing: The People's Economist Speaks (HOOVER INST PRESS PUBLICATION) (Paperback)
Everything Walter Williams writes is worth reading. His amazing capacity to convey economic truths combines with his wisdom, humor, eloquence, and keen powers of observation to make him one of America's top pundits. Williams is that rare bird: a truly courageous pundit who is also a genuine scholar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do the Right Thing - Read This Book!, October 19, 2002
By 
This review is from: Do the Right Thing: The People's Economist Speaks (HOOVER INST PRESS PUBLICATION) (Paperback)
This book is a compilation of columns by America's strongest voice of liberty, Dr. Walter E. Williams. In this book Dr. Williams offers his common sense, freedom-loving take on the vital issues of the day. He fearlessly confronts the many liberal fallacies responsible for eroding our precious liberties. A must read for anyone wanting to expand their base of knowledge and unafraid to confront stark truths. A great antidote to the toxic political propaganda many of our universities dispense. And, a great book for Blacks brave enough to challenge the ethnic grievance industry (Jackson-Sharpton).
