Thomas Sowell's books should be required reading and study material in our schools. Truly amazing.

Without Housing Subsidies, slumlords in the cities couldn't get outrageous rents for slums, because low income people can't afford market rents in large city (neither can the middle class, that's why I live in the suburbs).

will run our country for nearly the next half decade.

Question: he proposes here that democracy cannot be forced on those who don’t have the cultural background to maintain it, which is a fair point. But is there something (like an ideology or another building block) that CAN be shared with others? Or is it better to simply hope that “next time they’ll do better”? Or is there something that I misunderstood here?

Yeah he basically rode the idea of change that intoxicated everyone straight into their own graves.

Tell how nig*er dont mean black. It means, "cheap life", like worthless life. And yet, the left says that blacks should address each other by this.

Was it Democracy when the Democrat party "Appointed:" their Presidental candidate (Kamala Harris) without a primary? Was it Democracy when someone never elected to public office is running the US Cabinet meeting? (Jill Biden). Democrats use the word but in reality, they believe in Tyranny.

They wanted to see😂😂😂😂😂

Such as welfare recipients who want everything given to them and handed to then while they live large and party.. 😠

What is the reading from in the back end of the video? Like where can I find the text that is being read.

The Left: housing is a right, healthcare is a right, abortion is a woman's right no human is illegal.

Mr Sowell is such a brilliant man I have so much respect for him

And if you thought those imperfections were bad....just wait till the GOVT shows you how imperfect they are!

Just another way to keep people down and they stay up.

His last advice was so pertinent to the upcoming election. Wake up people.

Mr. Sowell is due a refund from every educational institutional he attended. Because, he did not learn a thing.

PURE DEMOCRACY WOULD ALLOW ELITES TO BRING BACK SLAVERY.

Constitutional republic forever

🖖

Because it's easily coopted into socialism

Thomas Jefferson called Democracy "MOB RULE" for a reason. Mob Rule takes away, or must control FREEDOM. Without FREEDOM. Human rights are lost.

"How's that hopey-changey stuff working out for you?" - Sarah Palin

If someone is going to pay you to stay at home, why would you want to go work?

And so what happens when they learn to shift gears and go the other ways like they are? Anything for a vote and everyone should respect.Everyone's civil liberties regardless that's spooky

🎯🎯🎯🎯No one says it better than Dr. Sowell.

Brilliantly stated. One current example of a democracy with limited freedom is Brazil where any criticism of the ruling govt. is declared as antidemocrstic and is not tolerated.

I don’t like post like this seems like fake Ai nonsense

Western 🤔 I'm slow, 😅so is he talking about N&S America 🤔

You're repeating so much history it's crazy 🤪 🤯. National Archives, research your family;find truth fuck facts 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Just commenting to say that whilr higher quality can fetch a higher price higher quality does not necessitate higher cost and in fact higher quality if done correctly should come with lower cost - you can read any works by Edwards Deming to learn this fact

I wish everyone would read this brilliant man

Plato warned about how democracy leads to the Tyrannt

I hope Mr. Sowell is considering support for President Trump. He’d be a great advisor!

What's an insult is the prisoners from closed prisons overseas are all sent here soly and exclusively to destroy our sovereignty and bankrupt our Treasury to a state of collapse. A government that can no longer function financially Gets over

Every time you read or hear this great intellectual, and wonder why he is not in the media, read him again and you will understand how leftist and cancel-out America has become.

They love "their" democracy.

It goes back to the Bolsheviks and Leninism. Remember the Democratic Republic of East Germany? Democratic Republic of Korea aka North Korea? Democratic Republic of the Congo? And so on.

I don't really care because I was born a Canadian, became an American, and if push came to shove, maybe I'll emigrate elsewhere.

Three is such a thing as a constitutional democracy. That is, a representative democracy where government is limited by a constitution. Such a democracy can be a republic, like the USA, or a monarchy, like the UK, or any other style of govenrment wherein the citizens have a vote, but the elected government is limited. Not sure where Sowell gets the idea Great Britain had "freedom" long before the reform act of 1832. Is he not familiar with the American Revolution, based on the cry "No taxation without representation". Apparently he missed that part of a basic education. Either that, or the early colonists were not aware of the fact they had complete freedom. Oh, but of course they were a colony, and colonies were not allowed to make decisions for themselves. Like the American colonies, Hong Kong, India, Rhodesia, and a whole lot of other British colonies that had to fight for their freedom. I suggest reading "Burma Days" by George Orwell. He served in the British police in Burma, before becoming disgusted with the situation. Then he wrote about it. A first hand account of British colonialism in action. Maybe Thomas Sowell should have read it.

Someone who fits in talking about adversity.

I love this man.

The problem with the UN is DEMOCRACY. Every nation has a vote and enough foolish ones voting together can cause harm. If we leave, we won’t have to pay for it! It would be nice if a limited number of nations with shared values could FORM A NEW ORGANIZATION. I am thinking America, the UK and its former colonies, Europe, and Japan. Nations with values known as WESTERN CIVILIZATION. Democracy might work if the members are NOT fools.

Nothing is free... Somebody's paying.

Every time I hear from a Politician or someone from the MSM throw out our Democracy I scratch my head and say where.

Democracy is an ugly word and an ugly practice being only one step from an oligarchy.

It is because they hate human Liberty. Democracy, without a defense of individual rights, is nothing more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what is for dinner. As the Left feeds on their fellows, they want to vote on what is for dinner!

Thank you Mr Sowell God gave you many gifts to reach across the divide and bring brothers together. Christians we are all made from earthen clay.

This man ‘was’ & ‘IS’ so ahead of his time!! Such a great mind!! 😊

Good video but I would have liked to see the Harris policy directly addressed. It's not totally clear how it's a bad policy other than the fact that it doesn't do anything to boost housing supply. Strongly agree that too much zoning is an issue. We're fighting a battle over that here in Virginia where a lot of homeowners are against upzoning to protect their own property values. Smh
