New condition dark gray boards with silver spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Praise for Maverick; List of Other Books by Jason Riley; Dedication; Introduction; Acknowledgments; Notes: Index and About the Author. "Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age. In a career spanning more than a half century, few scholars have matched his range and accessibility. He has written more than thirty books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political philosophy, race, migration, and culture. His bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many but enraged most of his fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and much of the mainstream media. As a result, critics preoccupied with political correctness have demeaned, ignored, and downplayed his important contributions. In this first-ever biography of Sowell, Wall Street Journal columnist Jason L. Riley gives this iconic thinker his due and responds to his detractors. Maverick showcases Sowell's most significant writings and traces the life events that shaped his ideas and resulted in a black orphan born in the Jim Crow South going on to graduate from Harvard, earn a PhD under Milton Friedman at the University of Chicago, teach economics at Cornell and UCLA, and spend the past four decades as one of America's foremost public intellectuals." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
