Up from the Projects: An Autobiography by Walter E. Williams
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.5MB
Overview: Born in the slums of Philadelphia during the Great Depression, Walter E. Williams rose to become one of America’s most respected and controversial economists. Up from the Projects chronicles that journey — from mischievous youth and rebellious soldier to acclaimed professor and public intellectual — all shaped by a fierce belief in personal responsibility and economic freedom.
In his trademark direct style, Williams recounts the formative experiences that defined his worldview: growing up in a single-parent household, confronting racism, serving in the military, and ultimately earning his PhD in economics. Along the way, he reflects on the cultural and political shifts he witnessed, offering insights into race, education, work, and liberty.
More than a memoir, this audiobook serves as a reflection on the values that fueled Williams’s life and work — individualism, discipline, and a deep skepticism of government overreach. Inspiring and uncompromising, it’s the story of a man who defied expectations without ever playing the victim.
