The 1-star reviewers seem piqued by the fact that as a young economics student, Sowell was a Marxist. But as time went on, the evidence led him elsewhere. He began to differentiate between the stated intentions behind government programs and their actual results. It wasn't a pretty sight.
Sowell's emphasis seems to be on what works as opposed to what doesn't. And as an economist, he knows that there are no "solutions" to social ills; there are only tradeoffs. He's not a "conservative" (he's never endorsed a political philosophy that I'm aware of) as much as a scientist with an extraordinary gift for clear writing.
