Charter Schools and Their Enemies is a 2020 book by American economist, social theorist and author Thomas Sowell, in which he compares the educational outcomes of school children educated at charter schools with those at conventional public schools.[1] He argues that charter schools on the whole do significantly better in terms of educational outcomes than conventional schools.
He believes the school system in the United States is in need of reform and makes the case for why the charter school movement is a force for good and how it will help to bring about that reform. It is Sowell's 56th book and was published on his 90th birthday.[2]
