Ten years ago, I’d have never thought that I’d be entertaining myself before going to bed by listening to an economist. I’m grateful to have found Mr. Sowell and his work.
Either I’m too confident in my analysis, or Sowell is a fuckin IDIOT! When he mentions how when in “academia and media mention the poor are getting poorer” what tf does it matter that people move income brackets?! This has ALWAYS BEEN TRUE! Yet, today, when people are in the lower income brackets, they’re making LESS than before! In addition, it’s getting MORE DIFFICULT to move up in income than it was in the past! What a bafoon!
In middle school, I once disagreed with my history teacher on the topic of slavery. For he told us we should still feel guilty for things other people did hundreds of years ago and that ''the rich'' should give more of their money to the poor somehow because they still suffer from those actions. Disagreeing resulted in him making fun of me in front of the class and lowering my grades until I graduated. I am so glad to discover the wisdom of Thomas Sowell, it was like taking a breath of fresh air and made me glad to have rejected my teacher's ideas.
Satan uses shame and guilt to get you to do things, making you think that they will atone for your sin against chattel slavery. However, in satan's economy, they are never ending. You're never done atoning. You're teacher had a woke spirit, meaning one of Satan's woke demons was speaking through him. Only Christ Jesus can free you from that shame and guilt. He takes them on paying the penalty you should have by dying the death you should have. So that you may be set free. Trust in Him my friend. John 14.6, 3.16. ❤ 🙌👑

We should at least have the Goat Thomas Sowell taught side by side with the education being taught in schools and colleges today. So grateful for Dr.Sowell.
This man is one of the very most brilliant scholars (and philosophers) ever, anywhere. Not only is his content of immense value, but his unique ability to state it in clear and simple terms is second to none. I have minimum 42 hours more of listening, as I replay this audio at least three times. He is tops on people I would love to meet.
I just got more education listening to this than I did in four years of college. Thank you for this video! I think every voter needs to be educated this way. And also I would like to send this video to AOC who definitely needs some supplemental education in economics.
@@Elon_Trumpif you’re an auto-didact, e.g. self-taught, you might also consider Ayn Rand, as many free courses as possible from Hillsdale College and thoroughly read the federalist and anti-federalist papers. Put what you learn to work and you’ll find success.

Thomas Sowell’s gift to the world. He will be our century’s Socrates. I wish I had learned about him sooner than I did,. However, he has been a wonderful teacher to me for quite a while now Thank you, Dr.Sowell for putting your Pearls of Wisdom before me. May God continue to bless you for many, many years to come.
Thank you, thank you! I've had the hard copy sitting in my wish list for a long time but this makes my chores, driving, going to sleep so much more enjoyable and enriching. We are all blessed to have Thomas Sowell to learn from.
I think he'd be a great guy to know but a terrible neighbor. He seems too smart and educated to have had the time to learn practical repair skills. I get the feeling I'd be helping him start his lawnmower all summer long, and his snowblower all winter. However, I would help him, despite the annoyance, because I do respect him so much.

Decency, integrity, responsibility, accountability, discipline, honesty, free thinking, all are in abundance when u or ur work is available. I am humbled. Thank u so much. God Bless u, sir.
Listening to Thomas Sowell reminds me of a stern task master who unabashedly prides himself on reminding his students everyday that they have oh so much to learn through his work and never having to say it explicitly.
If I could meet one person it would be the honorable Dr Thomas Sowell. I believe he's the smartest man in my lifetime.i love to hear him explain things. Love you Mr sowell.
I wish immortality could be granted to a selected number of people. I would chose Mr. Thomas Sowell to be one of them. He is a human treasure. From Spain, thank you very much for sharing this video. I am certainly going to buy it.

There’s a reason I went through K-12 and college without ever hearing a single word about this man. It’s a national tragedy, Dr.Sowell (he doesn’t even like this moniker he prefers Tom) should be REQUIRED reading in college.
You do! Wal thornhil! Look him up if you’re interested in cosmology. He is one of the worlds most honest intellect, close on as brilliant and eloquent as sowell, tho in a different subject.
This was such a great listen. Very poignant and full of common sense. I very much wish I could ask him how he would solve some of the problems with this run away train of a system that has devolved out of protection of culture madness. What sort of checks and balances could be used. His insight into the education system is invaluable. I could go on and on, but I wonder what Thomas Sowell would say about the outright ignoring of Judeo-Christian values. I always find that tribal Africa ignores the tribal Europe in history. Most white populations(and probably all ethnic groups) was dragged out of slavery too.
At the very end of "ECONOMICS" Dr. Sowell brings up an version of the idea "Necessity is the mother of invention". He asks if things were falling down when Newton developed his theory of gravity. In fact, England was worried about the Spanish Armada and hired Newton to figure out how best to employ the Navy to defend England. Ballistics to gravity?
After listening to the first hour or so, I ordered 'Basic Economics'. I had heard about the book before, but never took the time. After 3 hours, many things I wondered about the last few years have been clarified. Not to mention some of my previous convictions have been shaken. Honestly, in university they push a bunch of ancient philosophers forward. What I heard so far is honestly far more compelling than anything those offered.
Ive heard many people drop Thomas Sowell's name in their commentary and seen his name appear in various quotes, but this is the first time that I have listened to his words at length. Now I understand better why so many of the people that I used to believe knew what they were talking about would seek to discredit him or convince others to ignore his ideals. They would say that he is full of shit and that his ideas are easily refuted, without actually being able to refute them. Simply resorting to hyperbolic rants and mindless insults to his character.
Got an hour in, what in the actual hell did I just hear? That was one of the most entertaining string of dad jokes I've heard in a long time, in a book written by Sowell. I thought I accidently clicked on another video.
I have no idea what you mean/talking about. And I am saddened to know that you don't either. "We are all born into the USA of today, not having a clue how great she was yesterday." My quote.
I am paying my teenage daughter $50.00 to listen to this book. She would never be exposed to this level of intellect in her public school.
Maybe she can do a report on Sowell for Black History Month in Feb? Great Bio on him here: th-cam.com/video/IR6Llih12v4/w-d-xo.html
That's a good investment. Normally is not right to pay your child is listen a auto book but economics is a Tuff subject to keep ones interested but the lesson learned is priceless

your statement brought tears to MY eyes for the very same thing happened to me...it really rings true for me as well. Life changing!
If even 20% of Americas teens listened to this man, this country would see unparalleled growth and happiness.
