Race & Culture
The Economics and Politics of Race
An International Perspective
by Thomas Sowell · 1983
Sowell takes the race question global. The same patterns and the same myths, across countries and centuries.
Clay's Take
Most people argue about race like America invented it. Sowell zooms out to the whole world and shows the same dynamics playing out everywhere, which quietly demolishes half the talking points you hear at home. The book behind his 1983 conversation with Buckley.
