The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy

Thanks for that. I wasn't familiar with that work, despite being a big fan of Sowell. I'm definitely adding that to my reading list.

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".
