Thank you so much for making the review on the economic book. unfortunately, I have not read any books about economics. So this review is helpful for me. ☺☺
That sucks! A couple of novels have read also had some poor print quality: one had text that was not straight while the other mixed up the words in some sentences.
Great review! Regarding crime, where I happen to agree with Sowell. There are incentives at work wheter or not the laws are strict or not. Culture offers incentives that usually are stronger than laws. If a society is peaceful and honest, laws are rarely necessarily enforced since the social price of breaking them are high. If a society is violent, like many parts of USA, laws are necessary to disincentivize people from bad behaviour. In some places, like Singapore, both are play.
@@TheAvidReaderBookReviews I didn’t read it until I had imbibed a bunch of Sowell! My first Sowell book was The Vision of the Anointed. That book is just as relevant now as it was when he wrote it. But just about anything by Hayek is more instructive than any other economics writing I can think of.
I haven't read The Vision of the Anointed, although I did read a Conflict of Visions. I find that Hayek is a more on point economist than Thomas Sowell. However, Hayek's writing is not as reader-friendly as Thomas Sowell's work.
I would say that this is his most significant work and that most of the others are variations on the same theme. I am surprised that this book has fallen out of print. This is probably due to some of the outdated historical references. I would not recommend this as an introductory book to Sowell, however.
Japan like Norway have long been culturally homogenous. With small migrations, assimilation into the countries or regions is more of a necessity. With a constant influx of new arrivals, sub-cultures remain intact for a far greater period of time. So when you are talking about criminal justice, there are constant clashes on what should be legal or not, how to be policed among many other things because morals and values are so different. That is why recidivism is so high in the US and why some communities vary greatly from others. In the US, we have some pockets that until you go to prison you aren't celebrated or fully trusted.
What is your favourite economics book? Let me know!

Probably Road to Serfdom. Wherever the issue of the socialist/communist pricing problem was fleshed out.
Road to Serfdom was the first economics book I ever read. Hayek is also a great economist.

That book is absolute garbage

Socialism by Ludwig von Mises would be good.
Yeah, I've read only Mises' books "Liberalism" and "Omnipotent Government" so far but I do have a copy of "Socialism" lying around.

Speak a little slower, please
Alright.
