Description

"In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality, and power: the 'constrained' vision, which sees human nature as unchanging and selfish, and the 'unconstrained' vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible.
