"One of my all-time most favorite economists - Thomas Sowell - turns 88 today, he was born on June 30, 1930. Here is Thomas Sowell's webpage and here is his Wikipedia entry. Milton Friedman once said, "The word 'genius' is thrown around so much that it's becoming meaningless, but nevertheless I think Tom Sowell is close to being one."
In my opinion, there is no economist alive today who has done more to eloquently, articulately, and persuasively advance the principles of:
- Economic Freedom
- Limited Government
- Individual Liberty
- A Free Society
than Thomas Sowell. In terms of both his quantity of work (at least 45 books and several thousand newspaper columns) and the consistently excellent and crystal-clear quality of his writing, I don't think any living free-market economist even comes close to matching Sowell's prolific record of writing about economics.
And as I've mentioned previously on CD, as a writer Thomas Sowell is truly the "Master of Idea Density" - he has the amazing talent of being able to consistently pack more ideas, insight, and wisdom into a single sentence or paragraph than what typically takes an entire essay or book for ever the best writer!"
