为什么值得读
- 犀利指出自由派将良好愿望等同于实际结果的问题
- 警示脱离实际的教条主义社会愿景带来的危险
- 提供详实数据反思社会政策与群体成就的真实关系
这本对过去30年失败社会政策的批判之作，并未将过去的种种视为孤立的错误，而是将其看作被“受膏者”（anointed）有缺陷的愿景所导致的后果，这种愿景引发了教育、犯罪和家庭关系方面的危机，以及其他社会病理学问题。

任何喜欢索维尔视角、且对现代政治感兴趣（同时也被恶心到）的人，都应该看一看《The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy》（受膏者的幻象：作为社会政策基础的自我陶醉）。
Anyone who enjoys Sowell's perspective and is interested in (and irritated by) modern politics should also take a look at "The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy".
> 目标不是结果。但对自由派来说就是。去读读托马斯·索维尔的《Vision of the Anointed》吧。
>Goals aren't results. To liberals they are. Go read Thomas Sowell's Vision of the Anointed.
托马斯·索维尔在 1995 年写过一本很棒的书，讲的就是你描述的这种现象。《The Vision of the Anointed》揭示了这种成问题的倾向。早在 100 年前工业革命（收音机、电话、汽车）引发焦虑、劳动力从农场（农忙时每天干 14 个小时……
Thomas Sowell, wrote a great book in 1995 about the phenomenon you describe. The Vision of the Anointed lays out this problematic tendency. It was quite prevalent 100 years ago as anxiety arose about the industrial revolution (radio, telephone, automobile), and labor moved from the farm (14hr days during…
……货币外汇限制），而且他们的受教育水平和收入超过了白人……事实上，来到这个国家的贫困黑人移民也混得非常好。托马斯·索维尔（这个时代一位卓有成就的黑人）在《The Vision of the Anointed》中对这一切都有详尽的论述。
…currency export restrictions) and whose education achievement and incomes surpass whites... Indeed poor black immigrants to this country do extremely well also. All this is detailed extensively in the vision of the anointed by Thomas sowell (an accomplished black man from this era)
是的，极好的书。绝对推荐。我期待着为他庆祝百岁寿辰。如果你之前没读过他的书，《The Vision of the Anointed》会是一个有趣的入门读物。“一个社会面临的危险可能是致命的，即便它并不迫在眉睫。其中一个危险就是我们这个时代盛行的社会幻象——以及推行这种幻象时所带有的教条主义……
Yes, terrific books. Absolutely recommended. I look forward to celebrating his 100th birthday. If you've not come across him The Vision of the Anointed would make for a interesting introduction. 'Dangers to a society may be mortal without being immediate. One such danger is the prevailing social vision of our time - and the dogmatism with which the…
同样，他的《A Conflict of Visions》（观念的冲突）和《The Vision of the Anointed》是两本极其犀利深刻的书，非常直接地指出了为什么我们今天会落到这步田地、撕裂到如此地步。这很可能与别处提到的海特（Haidt）的《正义之心》（The Righteous Mind）有很强的对应关系……
In similar veins, his 'A Conflict of Visions' and 'The Vision of the Anointed' are two stunning incisive books that show pretty directly why we are where we are now, as divided as we are now. Likely corresponds strongly with Haidt's 'The Righteous Mind', referred to elsewhere…
