Preferential Policies

Preferential Policies
An International Perspective

by Thomas Sowell



By preferential policies Thomas Sowell means government-mandated preferences for govern-ment-designated groups, policies that legally mandate that individuals not all be judged by the same criteria or subjected to the same procedures. What is called affirmative action in the United States is part of a much larger phenomenon found in many countries around the world. In this work, he analyzes the mechanisms and consequences of these legalized preferences in an international context, paying particular attention to programs in India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and the United States. What his studies show is that these preferential policies produce results that are the same, whether they exist for a majority or for a minority and regardless of what group or groups hold political power. Preferential programs not only persist but expand in scope; the benefits of these programs have disproportionately favored those group members who are already more fortunate, and thus ethnic polarization has increased.
