Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet has called him "our greatest contemporary philosopher," an opinion that British historian Paul Johnson shares in his book "A History of the American People."
Besides his weekly newspaper column, Sowell has written 43 books — 10 in the last five years — two monographs, 87 articles in periodicals and books, and 33 book reviews....
Dr. Sowell has granted IBD permission to run one of the chapters of Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One — The Economics of Medical Care — in its entirety.
Check out Black Rednecks and White Liberals. An excellent read. Thomas Sowell does not talk down to his audience. He makes complex economic ideas seem like plain common sense. Which, when you remove the jargon, they generally are.
