About this listen

This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of fundamental principles of freedom - amounting to a quiet repeal of the American revolution. The Quest for Cosmic Justice is the summation of a lifetime of study and thought about where we as a society are headed - and why we need to change course before we do irretrievable damage.

This books beautifully illustrates how the quest for cosmic (social) justice will inevitably end in tyranny. The signs are all around us, more so we’re complicit in the erosion of our freedoms.

Tyranny is fast approaching

Thomas Sowell discusses and explains this subject much better and with better examples on some of his other book, this book focuses more on understanding the principle difference between “justice” and “social justice” aka “Cosmic Justice”.

It could have used a few more specific examples to fortify his argument, I get the impression this book relies on people having read his previous books and seeks to provide a definition only of “cosmic justice”.

Lacking empiricism

If I could rate 10 stars for the book I would. This is a must read for everyone interested in current debates including gender issues, economic disparities, social justice, economics and politics.
A must have tool to help you navigate contemporary thinking .
I consider Thomas Sowell one of the greatest philosophers of our times.

This book is even more relevant now than when it was first published in the year 2000. It clearly explains how the American intelligentsia is destroying the ideals of the American revolution.
