From renowned economist Thomas Sowell, an examination of why different races and cultures succeed or fail

“A robust, neo-conservative romp through the minefield of contemporary race relations.”—New York Times

What causes differences between ethnic groups and cultures? Why do some seem to succeed while others struggle?

In this classic book, renowned economist Thomas Sowell answers these questions and more as he dispels common misconceptions about the causes of success—or failure—for different races and cultures. Encompassing more than a decade of research around the globe, Sowell argues that cultural capital has far more impact than politics, prejudice, or genetics on the social and economic fates of minorities, nations, and civilizations.

Bold and compelling, Race and Culture is essential reading for those looking to cut through the muddle of modern racial discourse.
