Boiling point
This is a collection of essays from the distinguished economist Walter Williams written during the beginning of the 80’s. I love Williams’ perspective. While I sympathize with much of his libertarian conclusions, I do not agree with all of them. His essay on abortion here is downright confusing (that’s putting it nicely). I am curious about his current position and if it has changed since this work.
Overall, I recommend Williams works in general.
