There is a large criticism of Thomas Sowell, which is that he used no evidence to support anything he ever said. He uses made up situations to argue for his points instead of using real world examples. There is a 2 hour 41 min video created by the you tube channel "Unlearning Echonomics" titled "Thomas Sowell is worse than I thought." If you truly want to hear both sides of the argument, that is the other side against Thomas Sowell.
