Thomas Sowell has taught economics at Cornell, UCLA, Amherst, and other academic institutions, and his Basic Economics has been translated into six languages. He is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has published in both academic journals and in such popular media as the Wall Street Journal, Forbes magazine, and Fortune, and he writes a syndicated column that appears in newspapers across the country.
This much revised and reorganized edition of Intellectuals and Society is more than half again larger than the first edition. Four new chapters have been added on intellectuals and race, including a chapter on race and intelligence.
These new chapters show the radically different views of race prevailing among the intelligentsia at the beginning of the twentieth century and at the end-- and yet how each of these opposite views of race had the same dogmatic quality and the same refusal to countenance differing opinions among their contemporaries, much less engage dissenting opinions in serious debate. Moreover, each of these very different views of race produced flourishes of rhetoric and travesties of logic, leading to dire social consequences, though of very different sorts in the two eras.
Other additions to this edition include a critique of John Rawls' conception or justice and a re-examination of the so-called "trickle-down theory" behind "tax cuts for the rich." There are other revisions, from the preface to the final chapter, the latter being extensively rewritten to bring together and highlight the themes of the other chapters, and to make unmistakably clear what Intellectuals and Society is, and is not, seeking to do.

评分这本书批判的那些公知,他们并没有真正的、可验证的、可靠的能够用来造福社会、引导大众走向更好局面的知识。他们根本就没有科学的方法,或是根本就不在乎科学的方法,不在乎发现因果的正确路线,而站在道德的制高点,通过自己以别的方式积累起来的“权威”,跨出自己专业的领...
评分1.第一章讲知识分子的定义:理念生产者。这个定义好,是我见过最简洁准确的。 2.第二章讲知识分子的自大为什么错,还是哈耶克那套,个人的专业知识比不上大众的默会知识。 3.第三章批判知识分子不懂经济学,这点批判得对。 4.第四章讲左派的不切实际,对社会的所谓“圣化构想”...
评分这本书以决绝的态度作了一番知识阶层彻头彻尾的“自我拆台”。作者描述知识分子从社会生活的各个领域,总是超出自己专精的领域,发挥自以为高明的见解,往往轻视贬低大众经验和鲜明的事实,罔顾系统性的因果关系,运用修辞技巧为自己进行合理化变化,并且通过舆论影响政策决策...
