Synopsis "Inside American Education "

An indictment of the American educational system criticizes the fact that the system has discarded the traditional goals of transmitting knowledge and fostering cognitive skills in favor of building self-esteem and promoting social harmony.

Thomas Sowell is one of the most recognized American liberal thinkers and economists, and one of the greatest scourges of "politically correct" thought.

He graduated in Economics from Harvard University in 1958 and obtained a master's degree from Columbia University in 1959. In 1968, he earned a PhD in Economics from the University of Chicago.

He worked for decades in administration, academia, and business, until joining the Hoover Institution at Stanford University in 1980, where he is a professor. In 2002, he received the National Humanities Medal, awarded by the President of the United States.

He is the author of numerous books that have been translated into more than twelve languages. In Spanish, he has published Positive Discrimination in the World (Gota a Gota Ediciones, 2006), Conflict of Visions (Gedisa, 2009) and at Deusto, The Economy: Truths and Lies (2008), Basic Economics (2013), and Fallacies of Social Justice (2024).
