The Vision Of The Annointed

Self-congratulation As A Basis For Social Policy

by: Thomas Sowell

in: Political Ideologies

Summary:

The book critiques the mindset and policies of those Sowell terms the "anointed" elites, who believe their superior wisdom and moral virtue guide them to propose solutions for society's problems. He argues that these elites dismiss evidence and outcomes that contradict their beliefs, often leading to detrimental social policies while they maintain a sense of self-congratulation.
