The Vision of the Anointed
Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy
Thomas Sowell
This insightful book by Thomas Sowell offers a penetrating analysis of the problems caused by liberalism's misguided principles. The Vision of the Anointed is a thought-provoking critique that highlights the serious consequences of policymakers and intellectuals who promote flawed theories, resulting in social dysfunction in areas such as education, crime, and family breakdown. With evidence-based arguments, Sowell challenges the "politically correct" rhetoric of the anointed elites and exposes the fallacies of their self-righteous assumptions. A must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the failures of modern social policy.

@SarKE @coldxman I've read a lot of his works and those are my two favorites. His book on Affirmative Action was fascinating, but I thought he overstated some claims. Visions of the Anointed is also wonderful, but it's more of a polemic (it's a good polemic, but not everyone's cup of tea) – source
