Signed, without inscription, by Thomas Sowell upon Conservative Book Club bookplate mounted upon front free endpaper. "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. [This book] 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." - dust jacket. "Thomas Sowell is the most original and important conservative thinker of the late twentieth century, illuming this epoch of conservative triumph over the socialism and racism of the left. [This book] is yet another high point on his heroic journey." - George Gilder. "Exposes in all its fraudulence the sense of injustice that rebels against inevitable features of human life, producing congeries of utopian reforms that drastically, and futilely, diminish America's liberties." - Judge Robert H. Bork.
