Thomas Sowell is a national treasure.
I relied on Sowell’s book “Basic Economics” in all the years of teaching econ.
I never got around to reading any of Sowell’s books although I read his columns regularly. One of those things on my “to Do” list, but when you get fresh milk daily you don’t worry about how to run a dairy.
Can anyone tell me the one or two books out of his list that are the required reading for the definitive Sowell? Time to complete that part of my To Do list in honor of a great American.

“Nothing is easier, or more
emotionally satisfying, than
blaming high prices on those who
charge them, rather than on
those who cause them.”
—Thomas Sowell
“One of the sad signs of our times is that
we have demonized those who produce,
subsidized those who refuse to produce,
and canonized those who complain. “
Thomas Sowell
“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

What exactly is your ‘fair share’ of what ‘someone else’ has worked for?

“The black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow, but it has disintegrated in the wake of liberals expansion of the welfare state.”

Another bump for later.
