When he said he read other books while still being a Marxist shows you SO MUCH!

Thomas was blessed with a great mind and common sense. I will endeavor to read all he has written, I have started that journey, thank you Prof. Sowell.

I can't get enough of Thomas Sowell, I have read 7 or 8 of his books, watched countless interviews over the past few months and find myself deeply entranced by his incredible ability to present facts and empirical evidence that spans generations, race, class and geography in such an effective and matter of fact manner, that I would defy anyone to refute him.

Thomas Sowell is living proof that genius can prevail against circumstance.

"Working for the government made me a capitalist."

Incredible levels of pure genius and critical thinking skills.

[schizoidboy]

There are times when the answer "I don't know" is the most intelligent answer you can give.

[sstritmatter]

Thomas Sowell is an amazing success story where truth, integrity, hard work and intellect meets Americanism. I'd give you the Medal of Freedom.

👏👏 I somehow believe this great man won't get the recognition he deserves until far into the future.

[zmondone]

Tom is one of the clearest and most brilliant thinkers I've ever heard, And he NEVER tries to over complicate matters.

[Stinkface]

I stopped being a Marxist because when I worked for a capitalist I was trying to be a democratic socialist and realized these people can’t help us!!

[adaismeus]

Free and great thinkers always swim against the current.

To the committed Marxist, no one is more hated nor feared than a former Marxist

[josmotherman]

Thomas Sowell is a force of nature, who was placed on this Earth for a purpose. A genuine gift to humanity.

Takes a scout mindset to continue to listen to all ideas. The scout mindset is really rare. Most people think they are their ideas and defend them even when they're terrible thoughts...

I was taught as soon as I was old enough to understand that marxism was socialism was communism by my mother, father, and grandmother.
They warned me about people who pushed marxism.
They taught me about China, the USSR, and Cuba.
They showed me why marxism was BAD for everybody but those who are at the top.
I have been self employed for 26 years, and gainfully employed since 1979.
Capitalism is the only way to be truly free to be who you are.

“I don’t know”, three words that you’ll never hear from the mouth of the governing class, elites, or academics. It’s nice to see the humility that allows Dr. Sowell to say that he doesn’t know. It’s often as important, or more so to realize how much you don’t know rather than your informing the world of how much you do know.

[shemusmcshane]

As a society & culture we are definitely in desperate need of more men like Thomas Sowell

[BESTO]

Thomas Sowell is so amazing... and brilliant...I have so much respect for him...god bless him...

[anthonymerchant]

Thank you Dr Sowell for a lifetime of dedication in being a morally and ethically man of sound principles. You have such a wealth of personal knowledge that comes from lived experience as well as academically. This is what gives your words so much more validity is the understanding of personal knowledge that comes from that. As someone who is turning 42 this month I only wished that I had been more aware of you at an earlier age, than the last several that I have. So many of your quotes are used by myself and so many others when it comes to having that kind of real wisdom you share. Thank you for everything you have given Dr Sowell.

My two favorite people to listen to are Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Victor Davis Hanson. They are both so insightful and so prolific in their assessments. Keep making interviews with Dr. Sowell.
