This is my book review of one of the most interesting books I have read lately "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" by American economist, Thomas Sowell. I find this one of the best written and scientifically backed up books about the state of African-Americans, the topic of slavery and the impact of culture on performance. Some of you might disagree with the thesis of the book, but I think the majority of you will find it fascinating provided the information in this book very rarely makes it into nowadays debates on racism.

The dominating opinion of today is that racism is the only reason why black people in the US and Europe struggle economically compared to so many other culture who prosper. Often the argument that this is all legacy of slavery does not hold the facts that the decedents of other slaves like the ones from the Caribbean were able to advance much quicker. Also blacks who adopted principles from the Northern states "Puritan" culture quickly raised to better status in society.

As a Slav (which comes from the word "slave") and Bulgarian (which were often taken as slaves by the Ottoman turks) I have no illusions that slavery existed for white people as well simultaneously with black slavery, but somehow nobody talks about this.
This is part 1, because there is a lot more from this book, I want to share here.
