The Genius of Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell might well be our greatest living Intellectual. His accomplishments span 6 decades and include over 40 books and thousands of columns and articles written on a wide range of topics, from economics to sociology to history to race and culture. It is hard to name another intellectual who has studied and written on as wide a range of topics in such a profound way. This podcast will discuss his ideas and is intended to provide a place for admirers of his work to discuss his contributions with other like minded thinkers.

    "Honesty & Sowell" with Dan Ariely

    In today’s episode we explore the theme of “Honesty.” Sowell wrote about honesty in his latest book “Social Justice Fallacies,” and also in his 2000 classic “Basic Economics.” In addition, his 1993 collection of essays called “Is Reality Optional?” contains an essay about honesty which has a very unexpected spin to it. We learn that honesty is not just a moral virtue, it’s also a form of human capital that varies greatly from culture to culture and from group to group within a p...

    "Social Pathologies & Sowell" with Theodore Dalrymple

    This episode features a deep dive into Theodore Dalrymple's 2001 masterpiece "Life at the Bottom," one of Thomas Sowell's favorite books, and one of my all time favorites as well. I strongly suggest you read or listen to this book as soon as possible, You can thank me later. I prefer the audiobook to the written book, just because the audiobook narrator does such a fantastic job. I interview Dalrymple about his book and about his thoughts on Sowell's body of work. Notes to help you get t...
