The Early Years

Thomas Sowell was born in 1930 in Gastonia, North Carolina, into a poor sharecropping family. From an early age, Sowell showed a keen intellect and a thirst for knowledge. Despite the challenges he faced due to his race and economic background, Sowell excelled in school and eventually earned a scholarship to attend Harvard University.

At Harvard, Sowell studied economics and political science. He was inspired by the work of Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, who became his mentor. Sowell also became involved in the civil rights movement, where he witnessed firsthand the injustices faced by African Americans.

The Economist

After graduating from Harvard, Sowell began his career as an economist. He taught at several universities before joining the faculty of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1980. Sowell quickly established himself as one of the leading economists in the world.

Sowell's research focused on a wide range of economic issues, including discrimination, taxation, and the role of government. He is best known for his work on the economics of race, in which he argues that discrimination is a less significant factor in explaining poverty and inequality than individual choices and cultural factors.

The Social Critic

In addition to his work as an economist, Sowell is also a prolific social critic. He has written extensively on issues such as education, welfare, and crime. Sowell is known for his sharp wit and his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom.

Sowell's social commentary has often been controversial. He has been accused of being too conservative and of ignoring the role of racism and discrimination in society. However, Sowell's critics have never questioned his intellect or his commitment to telling the truth.

Thomas Sowell is a true intellectual giant. His work has had a profound impact on our understanding of the world around us. He is a fearless thinker who has never shied away from challenging the status quo.
