=== ''A Conflict of Visions'' ===
[[First Battle of the Marne]]
Sowell's opening chapter tries to answer the question of why
the same people tend to be political adversaries in issue after issue,
when the issues vary enormously in subject matter, and sometimes
hardly seem connected to one another at all. The root of this, he
says, are the "visions", or the intuitive feelings, that people have
about human nature; different visions imply radically different
consequences for how they think about everything from war to justice.
[[Siege of Antwerp]]
The rest of the book describes two basic visions, the "unconstrained"
and "unconstrained" visions, which are thought to capture opposite
ends of a continuum of political thought on which one can place many
contemporary Westerners, in addition to their intellectual ancestors
of the past few centuries.
[[First Battle of Arras]]
The book should be compared with [[George Lakoff]]'s ''[[Moral Politics]]'', which aims to answer a very similar question.
[[First Battle of Ypres]]
The book has been published both with and without the subtitle "Ideological Origins of Political Struggles".
