Intellectuals and Race

In Thomas Sowell's "Intellectuals and Race", the author critiques the common assumptions about racial disparities, emphasizing cultural and environmental factors over genetic determinism.

Sowell argues that many intellectuals promote ideas that lack empirical support and lead to harmful social policies.

The book examines historical examples and statistical data to challenge the notion that racial inequalities are primarily due to inherent differences.

Sowell analyzes how intellectual elites often disregard the complex interplay of cultural, economic, and historical forces that shape racial outcomes.

The book is a comprehensive critique of the prevailing intellectual discourse on race and its implications for society.
