I love reading Thomas Sowell. Hence the tagline.

Thomas Sowell is a national treasure and I love reading his articles.

Overall, Sowell's book is a protest against the unfounded assumption that "there would be no disparate outcomes unless there were disparate treatment." Sowell observes that this ideologically driven assumption "seems almost impervious to evidence."Some 'truths' are more painful than others... which doesn't distract from their veracity. As usual Sowell is correct and ... distressing.

Re: “Sowell notes that if five prerequisites are needed for success in a particular field, and if the chances are two out of three that any person will have each characteristic, the chance of possessing all five characteristics are still only one in eight...”
Is this “new” math, or am I just really dumb?
If "two out of three" people have all five characteristics, why is “the chance of possessing all five characteristics” just one in eight?

He was well into his 60’s when I became aware of him. His protege Dr. Walter Williams will be with us awhile longer, but who else has the chops and clout of these two?

When Dr. Sowell explains economics, it makes sense. It seems so logical that you wonder why most of the other experts never notice these things, or are incapable of explaining them.

Sowell further observes that fatherlessness clearly increases the likelihood that a person will end up in prison since a majority of prisoners "were raised with either one parent or no parent" – a domestic circumstance that applies to well over half of all black kids in the U.S. Which is a fact that gores two of the Liberal’s sacred cows.
The Black race as unjustly oppressed and fathers as completely unnecessary.

It is also a political weapon of mass destruction and this weapon has more than decimated the Black race in this country.
