From renowned economist Thomas Sowell, an indispensable examination of widespread economic fallacies

"From one of America's most noted conservative economists, a short, original book that offers some unconventional ideas about how to think about common economic topics." -Baltimore Sun

In Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics. These fallacies inclu*e many beliefs widely disseminated in the media and by politicians, such as fallacies about urban problems, income differences, male-female economic differences, as well as economic fallacies about academia, about race, and about third world countries.
