Özet
 The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.

However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.

More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

Thomas Sowell is a thorn in the side of sanctimonious preachy liberals. He grew up before the civil rights era, in an urban black community that's supposed to be the beneficiary of every intervention advocated by Social Justice Warriors. He's exactly the man the Woke whites claim to speak for - and he despises every atom of their self-appointed bossiness, and unevidenced policy interventions. Socially conservative and economically liberal, he's the uppity black who simply won't do what the status-seeking liberals tell him he should. And boy, do you need this man in your life! This book systematically slights every single castle and watchtower in the capital of woke. Sowell shows that everything from the minimum wage, through soft criminal sentencing, to academic race quotas harm the very people they're alleged to help. You'll finish this book realising that Woke is an institutionalised grift, for those who wish to virtue signal without suffering the shattering effects of the policies they're advocating.

Why haven't I rated it five stars? Chiefly because Sowell - despite his criticism of academics who stray beyond their fields - keeps wandering off into population genetics that he plainly doesn't understand. It's an infuriating start to an otherwise excellent book. Some other more minor flaws are bothersome, too. Occasionally, Sowell seems to apply evidential tests less rigorously when the data suit his argument than when they do now. Beyond that, not only are some of the numerical bits a tough listen, it's sad not to have heard the man himself (he's still very much alive). These are, however, tolerable flaws - in what is otherwise a tour de force of destruction of the very highest temple of woke.

Very clear with statistics, dates and brilliant summation of the fallacies and why they are false, looking forward to checking out more of Mr Sowell's works.

The world as it is, shocker.
