Thomas Sowell (born June 30, 1930), is an American economist, social commentator, and author of dozens of books. He often writes from an economically laissez-faire perspective. He is currently a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 1990, he won the Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Institute. In 2002 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for prolific scholarship melding history, economics, and political science. In 2003, he was awarded the the Bradley Prize for intellectual achievement[1].

Besides scholarly writing, Sowell has written books, articles and syndicated columns for a general audience, in such publications as Forbes Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and major newspapers. Sowell primarily writes on economic subjects, generally advocating a free market approach to capitalism. Sowell, a former Marxist, now opposes Marxism, providing a critique in his book Marxism: Philosophy and Economics. He also argues that, contrary to popular perception, Marx never held to a labor theory of value.

The poster's contradictions are laughable. They just demonstrate their own lack of awareness and lack of foresight.

He provides empirical evidence of failed liberal policies of the past and their insistence on promoting these policies over and over again. Perhaps you should read the book.

What makes him more unique than others is he is a right wing water carrier and he is black, which sometimes is used to elevate his status among the right because there are so few of them, and for good reason. They oppose helping those most in need, usually blacks and other minorities, along with a growing number of whites, but like I said earlier, some people have a price and can ignore all that. (Kind of like academics, scientists and "researchers" who deny climate change, they also have a price)

It's pretty laughable the minority, right wing conservative viewpoint, but like all good freakshows, it's worth a passing glance

So you are saying that he doesnt know a liberal's mindset. Yet you are claiming that rightwingers know next to nothing.

Thanks Synopsis, gonna check it out.

I hate labels, because I believe that common sense has no labels. You might side with one group on a particular issue and disagree on another. As for the GOP, that label has become synonomous with bigotry, hypocrisy, self serving and distortion of truth. So as far as what is best for the GOP, since they are on the verge of extinction, they should just crawl under a rock and quietly wait for the end.
