Wow. I had to look to see how many of his books I have read, and the count is ten, more than any other author for me. I have tried to order them from best to worst, but the first five are nearly equally tied for me:

1. A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggle
   
   
2. Basic Economics: A Citizen's Guide to the Economy
   
   
3. The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation As a Basis for Social Policy
   
   
4. Black Rednecks and White Liberals
   
   
5. Intellectuals and Society
   
   
6. Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One
   
   
7. Economic Facts and Fallacies
   
   
8. Inside American Education
   
   
9. A Personal Odyssey
   
   
10. The Thomas Sowell Reader

I have had him on my FReep Page for years as one of my "heroes". And I have found his debate performances and interviews over the years to be phenomenally entertaining and educational.

I feel he’s one of the greatest thinkers of our time and his ability to articulate his thoughts, second to none. Rush Limbaugh had this gift as well.
