 Economics made easy! Nov 12, 2009
In todays ecomomy you hear about economics and economist all the time but do you really know what that means? This book while having a topic which I would normally have found boring was an amazing read. I had people at work who saw me reading a book on economics and thought I had gone looney! I would read little bits to them and the next thing you know, they wanted it when I was done with it. I will read more from Dr. Thomas Sowell! He makes what appears to be a difficult subject so simple to understand!

Thomas Sowell Delivers Excellent Insights Nov 03, 2009
Thomas Sowell is an excellent author and thinker. "Economic Facts and Fallacies" presents some excellent insights into fallacies that are often accepted as fact in American society. This book is the concise presentation of well developed thoughts.

MORE PROOF THAT FREEDOM = WEALTH Oct 23, 2009
"Economic Facts and Fallacies" successfully debunks most of the fallacies used to justify the tyranny perpetrated by the fourth branch of government - the bureaucracy. Reading Mr. Sowell's book was part of the research done to write "21ST Century Common Sense" and the time was well spent. However, Mr. Sowell is too charitable towards those who would usurp our freedom and who use many of the fallacies listed in "Economic Facts and Fallacies" to that end.
These CHARLATANS routinely use such misinformation for political gain and most are much too intelligent to believe the validity of these fallacies. No wonder that those who support suppression of individual liberty and freedom hysterically denounce "Economic Facts and Fallacies".

 Completely dissatisfying Aug 24, 2009
This book in no way measures up to its relatively high rating. I read Chapters 1,2 and 4 and retired it. Sowell's points on urban fallacies are superficial in the extreme, and I assumed the other chapters would follow suit. Came away with nothing of value from this book - a rare occurence. Stay away.

 Great Book - Easy Reading - Important Analysis Jul 04, 2009
This is a good read for those seeking to understand basic applied economic thought. Sowell is a good author who doesnt concern himself with impressing the reader with comlexity - rather - he crystallizes the problem and solution in an easy to read form for the reader.
