Who is Thomas Sowell? Glad you asked.
Sowell worked a
civil service job in
Washington, DC, and attended night classes at
Howard University, a
historically black college. His high scores on the
College Board exams and recommendations by two professors helped him gain admission to
Harvard University, where he graduated
magna cum laude in 1958 with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in
economics.He earned a
Master's degree from
Columbia University the following year.
Sowell received a
Doctor of Philosophy degree in economics from the
University of Chicago in 1968. His dissertation was titled "
Say's Law and the
General Glut Controversy".Sowell had initially chosen
Columbia University to study under
George Stigler, who would later receive the
Nobel Prize in Economics. When he learned that Stigler had moved to the University of Chicago, he followed him there.

I doubt liberals could read that or care. He grew up from 10 to his teens in Harlem....
Here are his quotes:
Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.
The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
One of the consequences of such notions as ‘entitlements’ is that people who have contributed nothing to society feel that society owes them something, apparently just for being nice enough to grace us with their presence.
I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.
