These selections from the many writings of Thomas Sowell over a period of half a century cover social, economic, cultural, legal, educational, and political issues. The sources range from Dr. Sowell’s letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from latetalking children to tax cuts for the rich, baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are dealt with by drawing sometimes on history, sometimes on economics, and sometimes on a sense of humor.

Thomas sowell is a man of wisdom great wisdom and I appreciate the 10 hours of wisdom great wisdom that was outlined in this audiobook.

I would suggest anyone wanting to get into politics or economics or psychology should mandatorily need to read this book within the academic studies.

I cannot recommend this highly enough

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Very informative about so much, which is not really what it looks like on the surface, as defined by the Statist. The "do goder" leads to negative consequences for those the Statist tries to help.

Reality and the Intellectual are opposites.

Would give it 10 stars if I could. Thomas perfectly encapsulates the woke madness which plagues the modern age, but he saw it coming decades ago.

5 stars is not enough

Some parts I did found a bit boring, like the explanation on economics based on geography of different countries, that was the only parts, the rest of the book is amazing. Specially the reflections at the end. Amazing

Made me think
