Thomas Sowell: Social Justice Philosophy Is a Blank Check for Government Power

• https://fee.org, by Brian Balfour

"In politics, the great non-sequitur of our time is that 1) things are not right and that 2) the government should make them right. Where right all too often means cosmic justice, trying to set things right means writing a blank check for a never-ending expansion of government power."

This key passage from Thomas Sowell's 1999 book, The Quest for Cosmic Justice, frames Sowell's thoughtful analysis and rejection of arguments advanced by "social justice warriors," or more briefly, SJWs.

Although written nearly 20 years ago, Sowell's insights are especially relevant today, when you consider the heights of influence social justice activism has reached—especially on college campuses—in 2018.

For a blueprint to understand and refute today's increasingly vocal SJWs, Sowell's book proves to be an indispensable resource.
