Race And Culture: A World View – Thomas Sowell

Description

Race and Culture: A World View by Thomas Sowell presents a comprehensive examination of how cultural factors shape the social and economic outcomes of societies around the globe. Drawing on over a decade of research, Sowell argues that cultural capital—values, work ethic, and social practices—plays a far more decisive role than politics, prejudice, or genetics in determining the success or struggles of minorities, nations, and civilizations.

Through a careful analysis of historical and contemporary examples, the book challenges widely held assumptions about race and societal development. Sowell provides readers with a nuanced understanding of the interplay between culture and achievement, offering insights that remain relevant to policymakers, educators, and anyone interested in social dynamics.

Essential for readers of sociology, economics, and cultural studies, Race and Culture: A World View is an enlightening and thought-provoking exploration of the factors that shape human societies.
