Thomas Sowell quotes are music to the ears of conservatives, libertarians, and anyone else who has actually put some thought into forming their economic and political beliefs.
Sowell earned his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago while working as an assistant professor of economics at Cornell. He proceeded to teach economics at his alma maters as well as Rutgers, Brandeis, Amherst, and UCLA.
Throughout his long and prestigious academic career, Sowell became one of the Chicago school of economics’ most prominent representatives, as well as famous for his books, newspaper columns, and frequent appearances as a commentator on radio and television.
Sowell is one of the most revered figures in the conservative and libertarian worlds. On his 90th birthday, the Mises Institute honored Sowell by declaring him the greatest living economist.
We agree that he is whole-heartedly. Conversely, Sowell is rather disliked (and occasionally reviled) by left-leaning intellectuals, some of whom are no doubt driven mad that they can’t just brand him a racist and be done with him.

This paragraph in the text says it all for this giant of journalism.
“Sowell is one of the most revered figures in the conservative and libertarian worlds.

Must have been interesting watching all those neo-marxists at U of Chgo trying to figure out what to do about a Libertarian black unicorn such as Sowell.
