About the Program
Thomas Sowell was a guest on Booknotes in 1990 to discusses his book "Preferential Policies." The author discusses the effects of government-mandated affirmative action programs. He argues that preferential policies often disproportionately assist the more fortunate in a targeted group and that these programs are designed to promote specific political agendas rather than provide long-term change for the betterment of society.
