Sowell argues that determining the causes of ethnic progress or the lack thereof is hard to determine. We have data, although it is often measured in misleading ways, but drawing cause and effect relations between aspects of the data is complex. However, Sowell believes that we know enough to refute the common view on the left that lack of economic progress is due largely to discrimination.
