Thomas Sowell

The Thomas Sowell Reader

These selections from the many writings of Thomas Sowell over a period of a half century cover social, economic, cultural, legal, educational, and political issues. The sources range from Dr. Sowell's letters, books, newspaper columns, and articles in both scholarly journals and popular magazines. The topics range from late-talking children to tax cuts for the rich, baseball, race, war, the role of judges, medical care, and the rhetoric of politicians. These topics are sometimes dealt with by drawing on history, sometimes drawing on economics, and sometimes drawing on a sense of humor.
