I had to laugh, because when I went to get the exact names, I saw more of his, so I would round out my top 30 books not my top 10. Here are my five favorites from my top 30 in order:
- Basic Economics-A Common Sense Guide To The Economy (I give this one as a gift to people. Basic Economics is brilliantly done, because it is written in a very approachable way on a subject many people have difficulty wrapping their head around. This should be required reading for ANYONE who professes to be a Conservative.)
- A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles (This is his best book to understand Leftism through a conservative prism. I found that I innately knew EXACTLY the things that were described in this book, because even though I could never explain them as well as Thomas Sowell does, I had created the same moral and intellectual basis over the last fifty years of observing them in action, and his writings fit perfectly into that framework in my mind and gave them both affirmation and a voice.)
- The Vision Of The Annointed: Self-congratulation As A Basis For Social Policy (This book explains the failures and fallacies of Leftist policies)
- Black Rednecks & White Liberals (His view of racial issues and divisions-when I read this, it explained many things that I never considered, but which make perfect sense)
- Intellectuals and Society (He explains in this book how Elitism/Elitists gets so many things wrong)
