Timeless wisdom, his older commentaries still ring true and oddly explain current events. I always enjoy his work.

Uncommon Sense

Super fun trying to guess which year each essay was written.

The opinions are as always insightful and incisive, leaving me yelling “right?!” at the audio device more than once.

But honestly, this is not what I need from Dr. Sowell.

I need statistical evidence and analysis from one of the greatest thinkers of the last 80 years; The cool, dispassionate dissection of data that separates the good Doctor from every other right wing blow hard. Works like White Liberals and Black Rednecks that systematically expose cultural and geographical origins and impacts - and the permanence or impermanence thereof.

This was more like listening to your favorite wise old uncle wax philosophical at a barbecue- soundly reasoned, but mostly opinions. Still - it was a treat to sit at Uncle Sowell’s knee for a few hours.

Fun stroll through modern era conservative thought

Sowell went from being the most serious author I read to being the one who offers the most red meat. But still #1 in my heart. Kudos to the narrator who also has done many of his other books, his delivery is like an almost imperceptible beat poet, breathing the exact amount of soul into Sowell.

Classic Sowell

Thomas Sowell is an absolute genius. We already knew that. Thomas has yet again said what we all saw what we all knew put it all into words and slammed it on the table and said "NOW HERE IT ALL IS NOW DO SOMETHING " . we can no longer ignore , cover it all up , ! Its time has come and Mr. Sowell did all the work for us. Thomas Sowell is Americas blessing and conscience.

Mr. Sowell exposed the soul of America.

Most of this was written almost three decades ago, and everything seems like current news.

The common sense of the greatest thinker of my lifetime.

This is a narrative of the values I understand as a Boomer with clear language and the right questions to consider when we are challenged to believe the lies we are hammered with daily by the (opinionated) media, and corrupt establishment we trusted for so long. Thank you Thomas for what you do!!!!!

Truth magnified!
