By Rational Goods
These are the books that helped wake me up to reality. If you’ve ever shared a Thomas Sowell quote, it’s time to go straight to the source. These titles aren’t just brilliant — they’re dangerous to every lie you’ve been taught.
Read them with a highlighter. Then watch how you start seeing through everything.
The Thomas Sowell Reader
Thomas Sowell
Hardback
$35.00
$32.62
Not sure where to start? This collection gives you a taste of Sowell’s greatest hits: race, economics, education, politics — it’s all here. A perfect gift or intro for someone new to his work.
Black Rednecks & White Liberals
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$24.99
$23.29
Sowell at his most savage. The title alone turns heads, but the essays inside are even more dangerous. He destroys the narrative around black culture, slavery, and white liberal guilt. You’ll highlight half the book.
A Conflict of Visions
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$27.59
This is Sowell’s most important book — period. It explains why left and right see the world so differently. Once you understand the two “visions,” you’ll instantly recognize them in every debate, every argument, every headline. Mind-expanding.
Economic Facts and Fallacies
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$19.99
$18.63
Sowell goes myth-busting like a sniper. Gender pay gap? Housing crisis? Urban poverty? He takes the most popular lies in politics and economics — and destroys them with facts. You’ll never watch the news the same way again.
Basic Economics
Thomas Sowell
Hardback
$45.00
$41.94
If you were never taught how the real world works, this book fixes it. No graphs, no jargon — just Sowell walking you through everything from rent control to free trade in plain English. It’ll ruin every politician’s speech for you (in the best way).
The Vision of the Annointed
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$19.99
$18.63
This is where Sowell names names. He tears into the “anointed” — the media, academics, and politicians who push top-down solutions that fail over and over. A savage takedown of elite arrogance dressed up as compassion.
Discrimination and Disparities
Thomas Sowell
Hardback
$30.00
$27.96
Want to kill the myth that all disparities come from discrimination? This book does it in under 200 pages. Sowell makes the case that unequal outcomes are natural — and that chasing equality of results causes far more harm than good.
Intellectuals and Society
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$26.99
$25.15
The smartest people often believe the dumbest things — and Sowell explains why. This book exposes how intellectuals detach from reality and push disastrous ideas with zero accountability. Required reading for anyone who still trusts “the experts.”
Civil Rights
Thomas Sowell
Paperback
$16.99
A short but brutal audit of the civil rights movement’s legacy. Sowell separates the promises from the results — and shows how policies meant to help actually hurt. If you’ve ever questioned affirmative action, start here.
Wealth, Poverty and Politics
Thomas Sowell
Hardback
$40.00
$37.28
One of his most ambitious books. Sowell blows up the idea that inequality is always caused by oppression or exploitation. He shows how geography, culture, and choices matter more than government policies. A total wrecking ball for victimhood ideology.
