He warns that society suffers from an ever-widening gap between firsthand knowledge and decision making,a gap that threatens not only our economic and political efficiency, but our very freedom because actual knowledge gets replaced by assumptions based on an abstract and elitist social vision f what ought to be. Knowledge and Decisions , a winner of the 1980 Law and Economics centre Prize, was heralded as a "landmark work" and selected for this prize "because of its cogent contribution to our understanding of the differences between the market process and the process of government." In announcing the award, the centre acclaimed Sowell, whose "contribution to our understanding of the process of regulation alone would make the book important, but in reemphasizing the diversity and efficiency that the market makes possible, [his] work goes deeper and becomes even more significant."Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 157mmItem Length: 230mmItem Width: 31mmItem Weight: 448gAuthor: Thomas SowellGenre: Law & PoliticsRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
