Intellectuals and Society Audiobook

" Terrific prose, easy to follow, great ideas. The elites and the benighted. "

" Other reviewers have provided plenty of content description, so I'll just say that I found this book an interesting read, if a little long and repetitive. Worth reading, though not the best Sowell book I've read to date (see A Conflict of Visions and The Quest for Cosmic Justice). "

" Made be evaluate and think. "

" Excellent. Amazing what elites will do when blinded by their own certainty and arrogance. "

" Thomas Sowell is a paradigm buster. "

" Combine this with Paul Johnson's intellectuals and you have yourself a great refutation against those who want a sophmoracracy (government by idiotic and foolish "experts" and professors). "

" One of the better books I have read in some time. Thomas Sowell's ability to analyze the differences between seperate world views is phenomenal. "

" A thought provoking view of policy makers in our country. Mr. Sowell describes the methods and tactics that the elitist have used to influence the direction of our country. "

" This book is a hoard of economic, policy and cultural wisdom that factually contradicts prevailing notions of justice, fairness and equality today. I would give it six stars. "

" Great read on why we should be skeptical of intellectuals (the 'intelligentsia') who opine outside their area of expertise. "

" Can't go wrong with Sowell. Intellectuals and Society evaluates the people that form our culture to a surprising extent, but never pay for poor results(which come about all too often). Important read. "

" Written and researched, but extremely depressing. The millions of lives and poverty and cultural ruin intellectuals have brought to the world, due their assumptions and propaganda is outrageous. "

" I agree with some of his argument about income inequality..If MSNBC and "fairness" makes you cringe, you might, too. But book is tedious on audio. "

" Very difficult to get through but interesting. I'm a fan of Thomas Sowell but this is one of the more difficult to read books of his. "

" Like a diamond. I wrote a review a few minutes ago but I think I didn't save it properly. Will write another soon. The book is about the effect of people going outside their expertise and it being ineffective to actually help. My re-review still to come. "

" Excellent. Amazing what elites will do when blinded by their own certainty and arrogance. "

" A book by a public intellectual about public intellectuals, but not for public intellectuals. "

" Can't go wrong with Sowell. Intellectuals and Society evaluates the people that form our culture to a surprising extent, but never pay for poor results(which come about all too often). Important read. "

" Terrific prose, easy to follow, great ideas. The elites and the benighted. "
