Notes

"Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes the pattern. He describes the two competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason, justice, equality and power; the "constrained" vision, which sees human natures as unchanging and selfish, and the "unconstrained' vision, in which human nature is malleable and perfectible, A Conflict Of Visions offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes circle around the disparity between both outlooks." Quoted from the back cover.
