“Sowell writes…with grace and clarity.”—
Washington
Times
“Thomas Sowell is, in my opinion, the most original and interesting philosopher at work in America. I have learned a great deal from him and his new book is full of insights and wisdom.”—Paul Johnson, author of
Modern Times
“Sowell's scholarship is evident as he examines the interplay of religion, language, education, technology, and other factors in the development of nations….this book bears comparison to Fernand Braudel's
A History of Civilization
. Its readable style and impressive scope make it suitable for all libraries.”—
Library Journal
This book is the culmination of fifteen years of research and travels that have taken the author completely around the world twice. Its purpose has been to try to understand the role of cultural differences within nations and between nations, today and over the centuries of history, in shaping the economic and social fates of peoples and of whole civilizations. Focusing on four major cultural areas—that of the British, the Africans (including the African Diaspora), the Slavs of Eastern Europe, and the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere—
Conquests and Cultures
reveals patterns that encompass not only these people but others and helps explain the role of cultural evolution in economic, social, and political development.
Thomas Sowell
has taught economics at Cornell, UCLA, Amherst, and other academic institutions, and his
Basic Economics
has been translated into six languages. He is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has been published in both academic journals and such popular media as the
Wall Street Journal
,
Forbes
magazine, and
Fortune
, and he writes a syndicated column that appears in newspapers across the country.
