    <![CDATA[Controversies in politics arise from many sources, but the  conflicts that endure for generations or centuries show a remarkably  consistent pattern. In this classic work, Thomas Sowell analyzes the two  competing visions that shape our debates about the nature of reason,  justice, equality, and power: the &quot;constrained&quot; vision, which sees human  nature as unchanging and selfish, and the &quot;unconstrained&quot; vision, in which  human nature is malleable and perfectible. He describes how these two  radically opposed views have manifested themselves in the political  controversies of the past two centuries, including such contemporary issues  as welfare reform, social justice, and crime. Updated to include sweeping  political changes since its first publication in 1987, this revised edition of <em>A Conflict of  Visions</em> offers a convincing case that ethical and policy disputes  circle around the disparity between both outlooks.]]>
