- 2. Dismantling America
These wideranging essays'on many individual political, economic, cultural, and legal issues'have as a recurring,
underlying theme the decline of the values and institutions that have sustained and advanced American society for
more than two centuries. This decline has been more than erosion. It has, in many cases, been a deliberate
dismantling of American values and institutions by people convinced that their superior wisdom and virtue must
override both the traditions of the country and the will of the people.
Whether these essays (originally published as syndicated newspaper columns) are individually about financial
bailouts, illegal immigrants, gay marriage, national security, or the Duke University rape case, the underlying concern
is about what these very different kinds of things say about the general direction of American society.
This larger and longerlasting question is whether the particular issues discussed reflect a degeneration or
dismantling of the America that we once knew and expected to pass on to our children and grandchildren. There are
people determined that this country's values, history, laws, traditions, and role in the world are fundamentally wrong
and must be changed. Such people will not stop dismantling America unless they get stopped'and the next election
may be the last time to stop them, before they take the country beyond the point of no return.
Praise for the works of Thomas Sowell: 'For anyone looking for a straightforward and honest discussion of the origins
of our current crisis, informed by a deep understanding of both economics and politics.''Washington Times
