{"product_id":"the-quest-for-cosmic-justice-9780684864631","title":"The Quest for Cosmic Justice","description":"This is not a comforting book -- it is a book about disturbing issues that are urgently important today and enduringly critical for the future. It rejects both \"merit\" and historical redress as principles for guiding public policy. It shows how \"peace\" movements have led to war and to needless casualties in those wars. It argues that \"equality\" is neither right nor wrong, but meaningless. The Quest for Cosmic Justice shows how confused conceptions of justice end up promoting injustice, how confused conceptions of equality end up promoting inequality, and how the tyranny of social visions prevents many people from confronting the actual consequences of their own beliefs and policies. Those consequences include the steady and dangerous erosion of the fundamental principles of freedom -- and the quiet repeal of the American revolution.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thomas Sowell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Free Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.72h x 5.25w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780684864631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2002 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Sowell\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institute and the author of \u003ci\u003eA Personal Odyssey, The Vision of the Anointed, Ethnic America, \u003c\/i\u003e and several other books.
