He may be the last voice of reason if this woke insanity persists. The Woke were foreshadowed so well in AS, personified in Jim Taggart. Mr. Sowell recognized this phenomenon, even though it wasn't called "woke" at the time. For my part, I call it insanity, a mental illness that causes one to destroy whatever is not in his/her tiny belief space, even though that destruction will bring on his/her own end. Great post LP.

Me dino listened to Rush Limbaugh for many years. Rush was very fond of Sowell.
Reckon that should be enough said.

If he or Walter Williams had been the first black President..

Sowell's "The Housing Boom and Bust" was a good read as well.

Thanks, LP. Well done.

Sowell, was born in poverty and raised in Harlem.
His rise through intellectual merit stands as a testament to what hard work, curiosity, and intellectual honesty can achieve in a free society.

Yes!

Very well done, LibertyPen! Thomas Sowell is indeed an American treasure and reading/listening to him would improve us all.

Thank you for recommending some of Sowell's writings. I'll be reading them ASAP. 👍
