Thomas Sowell
An economist and public intellectual who makes big ideas feel plain and practical. Drawing on history and everyday experience, he explains how incentives, prices, and choice lift people out of poverty—and how central control harms the very people it claims to help. He defends free speech and honest debate, urging us to trade slogans for facts and moral common sense.
Quotes by Thomas Sowell
"Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it."
"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."
"The most basic question is not what is best, but who shall decide what is best."
