[KC Burke]

We have neglected to add a book from the huge list of those written by Thomas Sowell, one of my favorites. He is one of the greatest living conservative writers.

[KC Burke]

I guess I will start with one of his "Vision" series.

The Vision of the Anointed, Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy, by Thomas Sowell (isbn 0-465-08995-x)

This and A Conflict of Visions are probably the best two books on conservative thought published in the last ten years, IMHO.
