Discrimination and Disparities

Economist Thomas Sowell's Discrimination and Disparities asks why economic and social outcomes differ so widely among individuals, groups and nations. First published in 2018 and later revised and enlarged, the book gathers evidence that disparities are common and have many causes, from geography and culture to age and family structure. Sowell distinguishes judgment based on merit from bias based on group identity, and weighs the costs of each.
