Meeting at 7pm on Thursday 26 September, at the Shakespeare Hotel, 200 Devonshire Street, Surry Hills, this month's meeting is discussing Barbarians Inside the Gates, by Thomas Sowell. This is a collection of essays by one of the clearest social commentators in the last century.
In this work, Sowell discusses a variety of cultural, political, and social issues, emphasizing how Western civilization is facing internal threats that could lead to its decline. He argues that these "barbarians" are not external enemies but rather ideologies, policies, and cultural changes that erode the values and institutions that have traditionally upheld society.
Sowell discusses contemporary politics and culture, affirmative action, multiculturalism and law. The Barbarians may be inside the gates – but can we stop them? Available on Kindle for $7.99.
