Ever Wonder Why?

And Other Controversial Essays

By: Thomas Sowell

Narrated by: Leon Nixon

Thomas Sowell takes aim at a range of legal, social, racial, educational, and economic issues in this latest collection of his controversial, never boring, always thought-provoking essays. From "gun control myths" to "mealy mouth media" to "free lunch medicine," Sowell gets to the heart of the matters we all care about with his characteristically unsparing candor.

Twenty years ago, same problems

I'm amazed at how many of these articles from 20+ years ago are still so relevant today. The more we change, the more we remain the same, or at least have the same problems.

Great collection of articles

This great collection is very good at capturing the thinking of Thomas Sowell on issues of the day , with a timeless wisdom

Brilliant mind

Common sense is not so common these days. Should be required reading in schools. Can’t wait to read Thomas Sowell’s other books.

This Should be Required Reading

Thomas Sowell is a genius of our time and his logical and thought provoking analysis of modern day topics should be more mainstream. All high schools should make this required reading. Our country's future would benefit exponentially if more people could see the idiocy of their well-intentioned but misguided thinking.
