OMG, I remember when Sowell was a young radical with an Afro.

Heard him interviewed about 2 years ago...was stunned to learn he was 83 at the time. He is a treasure.
Three great ones in explaining free market economics, and making it simple in my mind:
Milton Friedman
Then Thomas Sowell
And when he goes to that great market in the sky, next in line is John Stossel.
They’re not identical, but they all have (had) the gift of making the complex so so simple to understand. (Walter Williams no slouch either...)

Still has a mind like a well-oiled machine. I hope he lasts past the apocalypse.

Gosh at 85 every day is a miracle that he lives past it. Unbelievable. I can’t believe he is so old. Doesn’t look it. Hopefully he is with us a bit longer. It is weird that all the conservatives are 60 and above (at least the ones talking on radio and print). We need some fresh blood or we will be in trouble in 10 years when the rest die off.

Milton Friedman once said, “The word ‘genius’ is thrown around so much that it’s becoming meaningless, but nevertheless I think Tom Sowell is close to being one.” Amen to the above... and Happy Birthday to a true genius... and a good man.

Thomas Sowell has committed the unpardonable sin of escaping the Democrat-Socialist Plantation. I’m glad that a man with such intellectual firepower is on our side.
To: jazusamo
Wow...we are getting old cause I had no idea he was 85 !
To: jazusamo
Bravo! I probably first heard from him reading Forbes magazine 25 years ago and he had a monthly column. Cheers.
To: jazusamo
I hope to say soon that I have read every book of his currently available. Started about 12 years ago and I am getting close.
He is a national treasure.

I think economics is basically simple but it takes the genius and honesty of someone like Dr. Sowell to make it seem simple. On the other side are a lot of people who profit by making it seem impossible to understand. Some of them ascend to high office and become very wealthy by promising something for nothing.
