A good summary of a misguided ideology

Thomas Sowell's "The Quest For Cosmic Justice" is a stab in the heart of left-wing politics. Early in his book, the author makes a clear distinction between traditional ideas of justice and what Mr. Sowell describes as "cosmic justice." Traditional justice is process-oriented. Everyone plays by the same rules and is judged by the same standards. It is a system that "flesh and bone" human beings can live under. Cosmic...

Common Sense Explained Here

Woe to those who willingly ignore and reject this brilliant prose. Anyone concerned with a tiny group of intellectual elites searching for the "better way" must read and heed.

In the first section of The Quest for Cosmic Justice, Thomas Sowell takes us on a tour of the world through time to display examples of childlike behavior in adults. He discusses two types of justice. Traditional justice is process-based:...

Thomas Sowell is a brilliant realist

Thomas Sowell is one of our finest thinkers. One of the most important facts he shows, with painstaking detail and with witty insight is that some of the well intentioned efforts at correcting "cosmic injustices" create greater injustices, and cause more suffering than had principles of "traditional justice" been followed. In other words, the interventionist cure is often worse than the disease. I thought it was great...
