"I was still a Marxist after taking Milton Friedman's course [at the University of Chicago]," says free market economist and social critic Thomas Sowell. "One summer in the government was enough to let me say government is really not the answer."
Known for provocative and best-selling books such as Knowledge and Decisions, A Conflict of Visions, and last year's Charter Schools and Their Enemies, the internationally renowned scholar is the subject of a new documentary and biography, both authored by Jason L. Riley, a Manhattan Institute senior fellow and Wall Street Journal columnist. Beyond the breadth and depth of his interests, what sets Sowell apart is that he "puts truth above popularity and doesn't concern himself with being politically correct," Riley tells Reason's Nick Gillespie. "It's an adherence to empiricism, to facts and logic and putting that ahead of theory. [Sowell] is much more interested in how an idea has panned out…rather than simply what the intent is."
Among Sowell's chief insights are the realizations that there are no perfect solutions, only tradeoffs, and that information, knowledge, and wisdom are dispersed throughout society, often in unarticulated ways that experts and elitists ignore. As Sowell wrote in his memoir, growing up poor and segregated during the Depression, he had "daily contact with people who were neither well-educated nor particularly genteel, but who had practical wisdom far beyond what I had," which gave him "a lasting respect for the common sense of ordinary people, a factor routinely ignored by the intellectuals among whom I would later make my career."
At age 90, Sowell is still writing and publishing. His greatest scholarship may be behind him, but his body of work will continue to have a profound impact on our understanding of the world long after he's gone.

In every Sowell comment section someone says he is a national treasure. I’m afraid you’re all wrong. Sowell is an international treasure!

[@thomassowellthereligion2125]

No, you're wrong too -- as he's a liar and a hypocrite, and I can prove it. But his disciples are so preoccupied with putting him on a pedestal and praising his "principles" -- that they flagrantly fail to follow them (just as he did on the issue in question). "Following facts" that go in the direction you desire -- doesn't count. Anybody can do that. Would one "one of the world's greatest intellects" flagrantly ignore irrefutable evidence of mathematical certainty to help manufacture a war in the Middle East in the aftermath of 9/11? I wouldn’t care if this guy cured cancer: You don’t get a pass for basking in baseless beliefs that cripple the country - and have the bottomless nerve to preach responsibility & accountability to boot. THAT is a cancer of its own. The poison he pumped into the atmosphere helped destroy the internal organs of America. So we have very different standards as to what qualifies as a “National Treasure.” “Water is Not Wet - And I Stand by That”: onevoicebecametwo.life/2022/04/09/water-is-not-wet-and-i-stand-by-that/

I used to think he was a sell out. I admire him now. He was the voice of reason that dragged me more to the center of the political spectrum. I was so radically left I demonized capitalism. I read , “Wealth, Poverty, and Politics,” and I’m reading his book, “Basic Economics,” and it’s totally changing the way I think about civilizations, human nature, and the importance of a free market. Highly intelligent. I can’t say many people have motivated me to change my mind about politics like this intellectual. I still respect Richard Wolff, Yanis Varofakis, and Noam Chomsky for getting me interested in politics. But this man covers all his bases and explains difficult concepts in plain english like no other. If anyone has any recommendations I’m open minded enough to look into it. I’m in my 30s now and I’m trying to understand the world, trying to prepare for end stage capitalism. Ray Dalio’s book, “Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order,” was another eye opener for me. We can’t just hate and resent the rich. There has to be some common ground. A lot of us are spoiled and take the modern luxuries we have for granted. The grass will always be greener on the other side.
