The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy
by Thomas Sowell · 1995
Buy on AmazonThis critique of failed social policies of the past 30 years sees what has happened not as isolated mistakes, but as the consequence of the tainted vision of the "anointed", leading to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies.

"Sowell's critique of intellectual elites and policy-making aligns with Marc Andreessen's frequent commentary on tech, culture, and the unintended consequences of social policy. It fits his interest in challenging conventional wisdom and exploring systemic failures."
