which lists his 45 books, 19 journal articles, 71 essays in periodicals and books, 34 book reviews, and occasional columns written in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Star, Newsweek, The Times (Britain) et al. Plus, he writes a semiweekly column for Creators Syndicate.
Wow! I don't always agree with Dr. Sowell, but at 85 years of age, he is still one of the sharpest minds out there today.

Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man. So is Walter Williams.
They are simply excellent.

Don’t mention ‘taxing wealth’, it’ll just give “Progressives” another talking point. Once they figure out that ‘taxing the rich’ doesn’t work, that’ll be the next step.

“How can someone who isn’t producing anything have something taken from him?”
Well, there are those pesky things like dignity, a work ethic and a reason to get off the couch. Those can EASILY be taken from you by Mother Government...and you won’t realize it until...well, most NEVER DO!

Poverty occurs automatically and has been mankind's standard fare throughout its entire history. It is high productivity and affluence that are rare in mankind's history and require an explanation. Government definitions of poverty make talking about income gaps and disparities meaningless. If everyone's income doubled or even tripled, poverty would certainly be reduced, but income gaps and disparities would widen.
