The Quest for Cosmic Justice

De: Thomas Sowell

Narrado por: Robertson Dean

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.

Slightly repetitive if you’ve read his other books.

I’d consider this book a synopsis of his BASIC ECONOMICS text. Strongly conservative for my middle of the road leanings..almost to the point of being a bit offensive. Good narration.

The best audiobook I have.

1. Arguments are complete and well articulated.
2. Without a doubt the best narration I’ve ever heard.

required reading

people should be taught Sowell in school. the man is brilliant and could change minds

Great book!

I really enjoyed this book. Good reader, short, concise chapters, and Sowell does a great job dismantling the oppressive idea of "social justice." Highly recommended and wish it would be updated!

excellent points in lopsided form

Sowell expertly untangles several closely related and deeply nuanced to topics. The addition of "Cosmic Justice" to my vocabulary has provided capacity to express ideas I found otherwise impossible.

I find the presentation uncomfortably reactionary and politicized as the failures of state and culture expressed are found in both conservative and liberal idealism. This slant feels to have reduced the impact for an otherwise crucial set of vocabulary.

A must read from one of the most clear logical thinkers of our time

This a great reference book for anyone interested in a look at liberalism in a broad spectrum of arenas. Clear concise and pointed. Bravo!

Clear and Consise

Clear explanation of elitist thinking and how it caused more harm than good over the years.

Powerful, and Thorough

Powerful and Thorough look at social justice and the policies that stem from it, as well as their intentions and dangers.

A great book.

Another insightful read

Quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. This may have been my favorite book yet from Thomas Sowell

If you are a conservative, you will love this book

If you are a leftist, ultimately you will want to rid the world of all who love this book.
