Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites-the anointed-have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Sowell \u003c\/b\u003eis a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University.
