Multiculturalism and affirmative action policies are only distractions likely to make matters worse.

Dr. Thomas Sowell is now a Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, having received his doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago in 1968. In this present work, Dr. Sowell once again debunks those that cry exploitation of specific ethic groups. He asks, ?What is the actual reality, as distinguished from ?perceptions? or ?stereotypes??? While politicos and special interest groups create myths to promote their agenda, Dr. Sowell throws the darts of facts that puncture their theories, proving that their proposed solutions only contribute to the problem. After devoting over a decade of global research, encompassing many ethic groups, he has produced another seminal work that reinforces his belief in a free market system that strives to produce solutions to many problems facing the world and America today: racism, poverty, and education.
