I never got around to reading any of Sowell’s books although I read his columns regularly. One of those things on my “to Do” list, but when you get fresh milk daily you don’t worry about how to run a dairy.
Can anyone tell me the one or two books out of his list that are the required reading for the definitive Sowell? Time to complete that part of my To Do list in honor of a great American.
Made my post before I read all the comments, some of which had some advice on reading the Sowell book list. I will start there, but anyone with additional recommendations please feel free to add.
You need to start with his basic economics work.
Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy (1st ed.) . Basic Books. ISBN 0-465-08145-2.
That sets the stage for all the rest.
