An amazing work

Prof. Walter E. Williams (George Mason U. - VA) is, along with his colleague Prof. Thomas Sowell (Hoover Institute - CA), one of the absolute PREMIER economists and social commentators in the country. He pulls no punches, he doesn't pussyfoot around, he gets to the heart of the matter, and this book is no exception. He explains in detail why Big Government (The State) is no friend of African-Americans, and why it prevents them from achieving everything they need to and want to. Of course, Revs. Jackson and Sharpton, among others, have done their people no favors either. Prof. Williams, along with Prof. Sowell and and others like Shelby Steele, Larry Elder, Ken Blackwell and others, have shone the harsh light of reality on this situation time and time again. Eventually, it may sink in. Prof. Williams scores a HOME RUN again with this book, just like his others.

Phenomenal insight and superb cases to support the arguments. Anyone who is truly concerned about human welfare should read this book. As for the seller, the book was in excellent description as advertised, and as a surprise bonus included the author's autograph!

Old issues and solutions are still around.

Written a while back. I got this copy to replace a lost copy. Most of the issues still remain in our culture, and the solutions have not evolved very much to correct them.

Eye-Opening Self-Determination Manifesto

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2012

Verified Purchase

Walt Williams tells hard truths about race and money in America that are hard to hear but even harder to avoid. Race is an issue, but not a reason or excuse not to succeed. After reading any of Williams books, you see enduring themes throughout his work that declare self-determination to be well within the grasp of any individual or group willing to work together and work hard.

The Welfare State Hurts Everyone, Especially Minorities and the Poor.

This explained a lot about how government regulations produce uninteded consequences that actually work against and to the detriment of the people they purport to want to help, especially the poor and disadvantaged.
