- Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World traces Sowell's journey from humble beginnings to the Hoover Institution, becoming one of this era's greatest economists, political philosophers, and prolific authors. Hosted by Jason Riley, a member of "The Wall Street Journal" editorial board, this one-hour program features insights from Sowell and interviews with his close friends and associates, revealing why the intensely private Thomas Sowell is considered by many to be "one of the greatest minds of the past half-century" and "the smartest person in the room." © 2020 / 1 episode @ 1 hr.

I lost a debate with Mr. Sowell a little more than a decade ago. He so thoroughly beat me that it made me stop and rethink everything that I thought I knew. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful.
NONAMESLEFTNONE... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove.
They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/
If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it.
Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html
Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism.
If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience.
If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource. He was into the occult world before becoming a Christian and has some very well documented PowerPoint presentations that are loaded with pictures and are real eye openers.

@@sabbathwasset-upatcreation9749 great post, it will keep my busy for days, thank you.
@@sabbathwasset-upatcreation9749 I don't prescribe to the idea that climate change is a hoax. Or a deep state idea to counter any religious ideals. But, like with covid, if something is brought up in the political arena, ppl generally distrust anything that is brought up on said topic. I believe Sowell s economic and social positions and theories are spot on. I don't agree with his views about climate change and what is causing it
@@jaed2630 Climate changes naturally, based on the Solar activity cycles, solar magnetic waves, and Orbital positions of heavenly bodies. There is nothing man kind can do to change it. It has wiped out countless civilizations before us... and will continue to do so, until the very end of the Sun, itself.

In the school where I teach, where we're talking about Black History Month, I'm going to show the first six minutes of this video to my students as an introduction to Sowell, a man they'll never hear about otherwise.
Why not in full. Students need to know. Need to understand. Just as much as the teachings of Dr. M.L.K
We need more teachers like you. Hopefully you don’t get in trouble knowing schools these days haha
@@stoicone149 I'd love to but I'm a science teacher so I can't fully justify it. I justified showing six minutes by emphasizing how Sowell espoused facts and evidence, which is totally the scientific method!
It’s sad that teachers don’t have a more active roll in the teaching of what a student should learn.
@@MasterEggroll very sad how realistic that statement is.
"Racism isn't dead, but it is on life support - kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racist'" ~Thomas Sowell
Particular white people are SO obssessed with the word racist and with being labled a racist.
Your ARROGANT ENTITLED PRIVILEGE prevents you from accepting the fact that it is YOUR actions and YOUR words that lead you to being labeled a racist.
Your actions.
Your words.
Ohhh no, you're arrogant entitled privilege insists that the targets of racism are the blame for YOUR racism.
Like spoiled cry babies.
If you don't want to be labeled a racist then quit acting like one.
Sowell subscribes to right wing conservative idiology and provides white people all the excuses they need to take no responsibility for their own actions and also dismiss the culpability of their slave-owning ancestors.
Making him a national treasure for white people in denial.
Democrats do it because of "divide and conquer" , they espouse victimhood which turns into hate and revenge. It might be too late to change anything.
It's kept alive by the tens of millions of Americans who vote for proudly white supremacist candidates like DJT
...talk about an idealist ...it's alive and well...without the help of ANYONE -(someone that doesn't look for it everywhere)
@@BillyDee45 ??
Thomas Sowell is 93 and would run circles around our current president
"It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."
- Thomas Sowell

That quote explains one of the foundations of white supremacy.
Amen!
In other words, corporations (aka private tyrannies), Wall Street, big banks, and most capitalists in general.
Try these truths... Regardless of skin color all Republicans supported and then reduced black unemployment, poverty, welfare dependency and unjust incarnation to lowest levels in modern history. Tell us that ALL white people are the racists?... don't get me wrong systemic racism clearly exist... to deny it is disingenuous and discredits the truth..... which is why we (reasonable people from the left and right) are in a battle that is not understood from either side..... quotas and affirmative action, welfare dependency promotion, abortion promotion, blocking of school choice/vouchers/charter schools in certain minority dominated areas with poor literacy, police union collusion with district attorneys and mayors to under or overcharge officers, poor policing and prosecuting in minority communities allowing gangs and criminal elements to ruin neighborhoods, single mother promotion policies.... ALL DEMOCRATIC PARTY policies and initiatives... not ALL white or Orange people... meanwhile Democrats selected Biden who supported the 1994 crime bill, gave a eulogy and praise for KKK top recruiter and supports the above racist policies. That's not even to mention the history of the Republican party before modern times where we white Republicans supported civil rights for our entire political history.
I’m a black teen in New York City and I’ve spent elementary and middle school in a charter school...
The knowledge I learned from that charter school helped me land a spot in one of the specialized high schools - Brooklyn Tech.
Now I’m a junior and using those critical thinking skills I learned from charter school, I’ve been able to first deflect indoctrination with reasoning and now by studying Sowell and others I can refute the indoctrination with facts.

I’m gonna teach Thomas Sowell to my kids as part of our homeschool curriculum
Same!
Me too.
When i tried to continue homeschooling, i was ordered i had to pay 100.00 for a standard test. My daughter was not yet in 3rd but was told to go, til the next test as i had no funds to pay at that time. She was reading the American Medical Journal, at that time and was tested in the top 2% of the region, as her mom and she had fun learning. Yet they gave her a 2nd mmr shot , because they could not find her shot records from another state .she threw up for 14 days through that test thereafter.....I have had to go through nightmare after nightmare of this awful system of permission....or "cannot hear" bullying. It ruined my daughter and my entrepreneur venture and sabatoged a child to do half their work after school and weekends for various reasons, along with she would not communicate /speak to me, as before, thereafter.
I wish I could do so where I live. Absolute envy.
@@j.manuelp.vicens3888 what nation do you live in?
Im an economics major and a former U.S. Marine. Thomas Sowell is one of the greatest inspirations in my life.
Thank you for your service
They don't study him anymore because his "theories" have been debunked by actual science. You've never heard of behavioral economics?
So many languages in the world and this man decided to speak facts

@bass reemer typical ignorance from a race baiter. he would make more money pushing leftist views at the height of their popularity wouldnt he so how does him being a conservative help him make money? even your own argument doesnt make sense...... just sad.
It’s sad that this man is not a hero to more people. A true genius.
Beautifully said !
@@dosran5786 this x1000
I was so glad to see this name trending on Twitter a few years back when Sowell decided to "retire" from writing full-time. This year, I think, he is 90 years old. My children will get a steady diet of his works as they become teenagers. I hope that they will be blessed by his work as it has been a blessing to me.
Likewise, I am starting my son on Basic Economics. Glad that we are passing this knowledge onto our children.
Glad you enjoyed the film! Check out sowellfilm.com to find event screenings and public television airings of the film in your area.
I decided to finish a college degree that I had begun 20 years before, and I chose Economics in large part to the influence of Thomas Sowell. I believe the greatest lesson I have learned from him was to evaluate the evidence as it is presented. I often find when I have found areas where I have disagreed with Thomas Sowell's ideas it was because I wanted to not accept what he said, not because I had objectively listened to the arguments and decided.
Regardless if your children embrace his ideas as you have, I bet they will still benefit from the positive outcomes you received from his work as they will probably have a positive effect on you and that will roll down hill. Maybe when they get to the age of rebellion, you can forbid all the intellectuals that you actually agree with so their rebellion will naturally lead them right into their arms, ha ha......

"The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is. He confuses it with feeling." ~Thomas Sowell

"It is not merely that Johnny can’t read, or even that Johnny can’t think. Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is, because thinking is so often confused with feeling in many public schools."

I wish him health, happiness, and a long life beyond his already fruitful life as a nonagenarian.
Thank you Mr. Sowell, and we sure love you and your work Thomas!

I’m 63 years old Thomas Sowell is a legend. What a shame that the schools in my era didn’t teach us about him ….! SHAMEFUL
He hasn't had a mainstream platform worthy of his attention since William F. Buckley Jr. stopped doing "Firing Line".
Dr. Sowell wisely steered away from short form mainstream news segments where it's all too easy for editors to bushwhack ideological opponents.
Can add many names to that list of "shame that the schools didn't teach about", such as:
- R. Buckminster Fuller
- Jacque Fresco
- Stafford Beer
- Donnella Meadows
- Jeremy Rifkin
- Richard Wolff
- Michael Tellinger
- Peter Joseph
- Matthew Holten
I recently a year ago discovered yhomas Sowell I wish they had teachers like him when I grew uo
@@bluemoonsliver6839 Be headed down a road of confusion if you were. If you were taught by teachers like Chris Hedges, Richard Wolff, Jacque Fresco, R. Buckminster Fuller, David Graeber, Peter Joseph or Michael Tellinger then you might have an amazingly healthy world view and insight.
Exactly
When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.
-Thomas Sowell
Wise words from a very wise man!
like main stream and talk radio?
Listen to a man who cares not for what color a person is but the amounts of Integrity and Honesty that person displays. A wise man who is fearless and refuses to be intimidated nor compromised in his deeply researched opinions. Many of todays politicians would greatly benefit from the integration of his standards if they would only integrate them into their own lives. Much respect and admiration to a great American...
Thomas Sowell changed alot of ways I reason with life. For several years his commentaries have been useful guide in my decision making. As the saying goes: facts don't care about our feelings.
So Thomas is saying*I got mine, why can't you get what I have?*
Blessed to have been a part of this, but even more blessed to have stumbled across the works of the great Thomas Sowell at a young age. I am not dramatizing it when I say that it changed my life.
Changed my life too. May he live forever.
Me too! Sad that he isn't as well known. I do my best to spread his work all the time
Great job Eric, everyone involved did great. This will be one of the classics on Thomas Sowell. Really proud of you that you were a big part of it. I follow you on the blue bird, @everyhuematters. I've been sharing this with everyone I know since you posted. As was said below, we all have to do our part to spread his work and others who follow him. Thanks.
Mine too.
Your own channel represents well carrying forward...just try to keep it clean so my kids can listen too.
I learn more listening to Thomas Sowell for 30 minutes than I did in 3 years of high school. Sad that more young kids aren't exposed to his wisdom.
Not really. He doesn't prescribe to the oppressor(white)/oppressed(brown) Marxist world view so he is dismissed by academia as an Uncle Tom. What else would you expect from a race based ideology exactly?
You should have studied more in high school.
@@ubermenchlicheman Nah, real world skills are way more valuable. As is reading books from intelligent people like Mr Sowell.
@mh_golfer You've been conditioned. I've studied up on conditioning, and it's a downright shame that you've surrendered your faculties to con men.
@@ubermenchlicheman the only con man here is you. And as far as George Floyd goes, the fact of the matter is that white men are overwhelmingly more frequent victims of police violence than black men are. If you actually ever looked at the data, you would already know that. So either you have an actually looked at the data or you do know what the data says and you choose to ignore it in order to promote your agenda.
Dear Mr. Thomas Sowell, you are God's gift to our Nation. May God continues to bless you with excellent health and longevity.
Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾 Amen 🙏🏾

Very empowering moment when I read his book and understood that I wasnt a victim of white man's oppression but a fake culture which prioritize dumb stuff.
There are superior cultures, it has nothing at all to do with race, if the cultures were switched between black people and white people then the result would be a successful black community and devastated white community.
I am also a big fan of Thomas sowells and milton friedmans arguments for capitalism and free markets. We have limited resources and it's upto us how we make the most of it, income inequality is actually a normal thing if your life is continuously getting better every decade, it's fascinating how dumb I was before I read all this stuff
Which book was it?
This is heartwarming for me to read in the age of mindless wokeness. My respect to you dear sir! And good luck at anything you do and I wish you achieve everything!
You weren’t dumb before, you were just miseducated- and it’s NOT your fault. The average person doesn’t typically sit around and think about these things. But that doesn’t make you (or anyone else) dumb. Best of luck and blessed be. 💖
@@charlesanderson7214 almost certainly discrimination and disparity. A great read
There are no superior or inferior cultures outside of the certain context.

Word! I was just thinking that, that would turn things around in this country real quick.
@Thomas DeLucco exactly dude, simple basic logic destroys marxism at every turn and there's nothing more dangerous to the political class than a population that can think for themselves
Indeed it should, but it will never happen. It goes counter to the brainwashing that goes on in schools these days
You would rhink...they are increasing teaching of history of other races but considering his opinions, he will not be included
I agree, but the liberal left would never allow that...
I listen to Sowell, go out and feel like I'm 8 feet tall. Dumbed-down world, too many idiots on TV. The list is endless. I love the man. His books changed my life.
As a young African American, from Florida living a low/barely middle class life. I really wish I was fortunate enough to come across this man earlier in my life. I always had an interest in things of this nature, studying things for what it is and understanding fact. A lot of people tell me if they have seen me on the streets they would just assume I’m just the typical black thug or something when in reality I’m just a product of my environment. Someone who wasn’t fortunate enough and didn’t have the right lead way in life, Im not making an excuse for it everyone is different and it is never too late for anything. It’ll just be more work to put in.
I discovered this man a few days ago and his videos instantly started to resonate because this is literally what I am interested in, and the type of person I am.
Never make an excuse for racism white supremacy constant barrage of obstacles to cripple black upwards mobility..
We can all turn a new leaf, have a new beginning, Jesus Christ makes all things new.
You wrote "I wish I was fortunate enough to come across this man earlier in my life." That makes you far more fortunate than me, who discovered the great mind that is Thomas Sowell in my sixties. We should both consider ourselves fortunate that we were enlighten by him in our lifetime.
I discovered Thomas Sowell at the age of 29 while obtaining my PhD. The great tragedy is that his work has been suppressed (dare I say intentionally) for decades. It is life changing to accept that you and you alone are responsible and capable of accomplishing things, and to throw away the victim mentality.

A National treasure indeed. As a South African, in the 90’s I knew more about 2Pac et al, (from whom I’ve benefited nothing) but never heard anything said about Thomas Sowell.
I lament the lost years I missed out on indispensable knowledge.
I’m in my late 30’s and now own 3 copies of his big books: Basic Economics. Wealth Poverty and Politics. The Thomas Sowell Reader. I Look forward to adding more of his books to my library.
Thomas is the most uniquely wise man I've ever heard, speaking at length on many subjects
He is very impressive and a true treasure
Rest in peace to Walter Williams. Thomas Sowell should get a Medal of Freedom award.
Agreed, but unfortunately it will go to some guy who throws a ball or does something equally pointless.
Agreed!!!
Damn right
I agree.
When did Walter Williams pass away? I dont know how I missed that.
This makes it seem like he died...
But this man will be celebrating his 91st birthday Godwilling
June of this year 2021!
That's right! 91 years young!
He needs a huge megaphone until he leaves this temp housing. The world would be a better place if all people , no need for Marxist identity labels would heed half of what he said.
Hell yea hes a junebug like me 🙏🏼
A movie on his life would be phenomenal. Won't happen... Unless Dinesh D'Souza s company does it.
Sending him this video! He should know his work and legacy is actively appreciated
The more that I listen and watch Thomas Sowell, the more open my mind and eyes have become... I have become a better person. He's an undiscovered and underappreciated American treasure, he should be taught in every school and university. I'm so glad that I found him. America needs him more than ever.
God Bless Thomas Sowell, I just found out about his work last week but it’s clear to me that he’s been saying the things I thought before I was even born. Shame he’s not taught in schools and celebrated the way he should be.
May God continue to bless him, for real! I found out about him recently too, but you’re exaggeration (“before I was even born…”) is hilarious, I felt that
“It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.” Thomas S.

This is exactly how I felt when this came on my CZcams feed and I started listening to it. The liberal left are the racist, they always have been.
Because the elites have been trying to divide us for a hundred years. He speaks truth that brings us together and they hate it.
@@Magnumscoffeefreek true that
Because the main stream media, politicians, and corporations want to keep us ignorant and compliant. Anyone advocating for personal responsibility and liberty instead of the welfare state is “problematic.” That’s why we villainize our police, vote for laws that keep small businesses and impoverished people down, and are being fed post modern philosophy propaganda in our movies and television. Thomas Sowell speaks the truth, and those in power don’t want you to hear it.
The word 'esoteric' comes to mind
Dr. Sowell is one of the finest human beings and Americans to have ever lived. I cannot adequately describe how much admiration and respect I have for this great man.
It raises my spirit to know that someone such as Thomas Sowell exists among us. He truly is a LUMINARY .

"When there are no consequences when rules and laws are broken, then we no longer have rules and laws; but only suggestions." ~ Thomas Sowell
The US vs the World mentality ... never took any consequences for your crimes
And in this day and age, even these "suggestions" are being considered outdated and racist....a sad state indeed.... Being born in the early 60's, this is not what I was taught growing up. When you feel an injustice has been propagated, you address it, and TOGETHER you solve it. Period. Both sides are entitled to be heard, regardless of what the narrative is following. Period. One of the first things I was taught when beginning my journey into the realms of higher education was that "Critical, Open Minded Thinking" will be the key to unlocking the answers I will be seeking to fulfill my requirements. How right they were, and continue to be....but not only when it refers to education, but to so many differing aspects of my ever changing life and the world around me. He may not have all the answers, (Mr. Sowell), but what he does share with us makes enough sense to make us stop and think. Well, some of us anyhow....now, question is, "How do we let others know what they are missing by not hearing and/or reading his words?"
So Sowell thinks the FAKE president should be in jail right now?

Very good point. This statement needs alot more attention, and needs to be heard by everyone.

I just, in the last week, found out about Thomas Sowell. For the last 2 years, Noam Chomsky was my favorite intellect. Over the last year, I've seen numerous Jordan Peterson videos.
At this time, Thomas Sowell is now my favorite intellectual.
Bless you ❤
I'm from Brazil and would love to see our politicians read this great man's work.
Dr Sowell deserves the Medal of Freedom. He is a national treasure.
Absolutely. Trump should have done this. Of course, Biden would be now signing an executive order to rescind it.
@@Relayer56 I came across a title some are giving to Biden. "Investiture of the Puppet."
Maybe right now I'll just call him the, "Rescinder in Chief."

Jesus died and rose again to save the world from hell, but you have to accept him as your savior first. These Bible verses explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior and have eternal life (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-55, 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, Revelation 21:4-6) 🙂

I will never forget how Milton Friedman managed to reduce the myths about colonialism and white privelige into ashes in just a few short minutes. If you see Milton Friedman's video on Slavery and coloniasation, he successfully illustrates that empire was a force for good, not a force for evil.

Dr. Sowell is a treasure, he is not appreciated or celebrated nearly as much as he should be.
Thank you so much for putting this documentary together and posting it on here for free. It could very well be a life-changing catalyst for many who watch it 🙏🏼🔥💪🏽
I just found out Walter Williams passed away just over a month ago in December. The world lost a mighty man.
RESPECT ❤️
Aww.. Damn.. He'll never get recognized for his work..
You can check out our film on the late Walter Williams here: czcams.com/video/YZGvQcxoAPg/video.html
Thomas Sowell wrote a moving obituary for Walter. Worth reading.
@@Truthhound1 Yes! I read it. Very concise and meaningful words.
Thomas Sowell should get a NOBEL PRIZE.
Ain't gonna happen. Thomas Sowell is neither a crook nor a liar. Nobody's fool nor puppet.
He’s better than that but I understand what you’re saying. He deserves the respect and accolades.
I'd rather not. Nobel Prize has BLM as a nominee for a peace prize. If I was ever nominated for one I'd turn it down faster than DemonBiden trying to put his pen in a pocket.😂
So true unfortunately they are nominating BLM for it 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I totally agree, however, those awards go to Arafat and Obama
I can never get enough of Thomas Sowell. Nothing that I have ever heard him say was illogical. I believe he is one of the wisest men of our time.
I am 48 years old and regret to say I don't think I ever really knew much about Thomas Sowell till about 5 years ago.
As much as I would like to blame this on some far left conspiracy theory I have to take the blame as much if not more than anyone. I may have seen a Thomas Sowell interview or debate on PBS or some early Saturday or Sunday morning talk show but if so I would probably just keep flipping channels. We all have changes in interests ad we age.
It is never to late to acquire knowledge and wisdom. Like many others later is better than never but the most important thing we can do with wisdom and knowledge is pass it on to younger generations. Knowledge and wisdom do not nor should they discriminate based on race religion or sex.
I thank God for learning about this wonderful man. And like most others I have to say I was blown away when I first learned of Thomas Sowell. Thomas Sowell still blows me away and I imagine he will continue to do so for a long time yet.
I want to pay tribute to Jason Riley who is the narrator of this clip. I have only learned of him fairly recently. I can't say I agree with him on all things but there is a lot to learn from him as well. Jason Riley is a wise man in his own right.
Thomas Sowell is an American treasure who hasn’t received the attention he should have.
For a reason! Nobody can argue with him, so the paid media simply ignores him!
Because he doesn't represent the image that the elites want for black Americans. He shows what can happen when you actually tap your potential and think freely.
@Kyle Johnson His Work has Merit because his statistics are facts unlike your feelings which is an opinion and facts don't care about your feelings 😒
...Btw let me know when the Austrian becomes a world power and Leaders of free Nations they "don't have solutions just trade-offs" Thomas Sowell
I agree....Just think though if the left allowed him to speak openly....... You have to seek out a man like Thomas Sowell...... The liberal/left media won't ever put him out front.
Thinking and good at heart people, men like Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Glenn Loury, John McWohrter and younger ones who are following in their footsteps don’t need attention and props as the intellectual clowns do. I wouldn’t think about it in terms of ‘attention they should have’. Those who are serious enough about themselves and others will find them and learn lifelong lessons from them, share from their more valuable than riches kind of wisdom and refreshing perspectives. The powers that be don’t want that. Real enlightenment and education of regular people goes against their interest. They need modern day numb and dumb serfs. They use their tools - the media, the public education system that they have been allowed to control for too long - to produce exactly the kind of masses they want. The pushing out of voices like Williams’ and Sowell’s from the public sphere makes sense when you see it in that pragmatic light, as sickening as it is.
When I first learned of Thomas Sowell’s work my first thought was “Why the Hell haven’t I learned about this in school”
Cause the USA were Marxists all the time, you are learning that part of your history only now ...
Glad you learned about him nonetheless! If you enjoyed the film, make sure to check out sowellfilm.com for information on event screenings and public television airings of the film to watch again!
Public school is socialized education. That's why you never heard of Sowell.
Sowell is a luminary. His works have shaped and inspired me to be a better man. A better father. It’s a shame he doesn’t get the recognition from our society that he truly deserves.
He's a consevative pied piper of American Imperialism as it enters worldwide decline.
"It doesn't matter how smart you are if you don't stop and think."
Thomas spoke truth.
This man should be a national treasure. Yet some don't even know who he is.
Boggles my mind.
Yes, he should be. I found him recently and my husband who's black had never heard of him. I can't wait to read the books of his I just ordered online :-)
I think I came to know of him very late because MSM did not want us to know him. May he live another 90 years.
BUT... HE IS a national treasure. One unspoiled by the dishonest, insincere world wallowing sow hate and envy.
lol 'some'? More like 99%
Imagine a world full of Thomas Sowells.
THIS should be REQUIRED for every student in America. Period.
Right? I'm thinking of showing it to my students. Wonder if I'll get any blowback? Oh well, I'm just a year away from retirement. ;-) I've loved Dr. Sowell since the late 70s!
Whoa! Take it easy, hold on there! We don't want kids to get crazy and start thinking for themselves now!
@@kellymeredith5594 PLEASE show it to your students. Someone has to have the guts to teach them to think critically. Sadly this isn't being taught and those who do, face the finger wagging. DO IT! The kids deserve the truth from someone!
NOTHING.. Should be required reading, ever. Think for yourself should be at the forefront of every students mind
Sowell is one of my personal heros in the modern world.
My soul is blessed that I came across Thomas Sowell at the right time.
Thank you all so much for making this documentary. The fact that Thomas Sowell isn’t as famous as he is intelligent is a testament to how this country’s mainstream culture loathes common sense.
Truths are a cold comfort, not many are built to withstand them.
What is common sense?
Thomas Sowell is so intelligent, he signed his name to a never-Trump pledge in 2016, to allow Hillary to win. Thomas Sowell is a fraud and has no common sense or intelligence

He admits he had a lucky childhood, and how he was given an education, yet, most kids today graduate high school and go to college but come out, not educated, but disillusioned..It's what's being taught in these schools that matters.
*And don't forget that MANY students paid BIG money (& will continue to pay for YEARS) for that indoctrination!*
So sad.
And having worked as a teacher, what you can teach is dictated by gov't standards.
The students get tested on those standards for state tests. If the school doesn't perform well on those tests, at least in CA, the school gets funding cut.
It's a way to ensure nobody teaches anything else other than what the state wants.
Schools today do not teach critical thinking skills they indoctrinate radical ideology. They producee people who are incapaple of independent thought.
Not disillusioned programed
That is why we should have school choice
I am so grateful for this man and his work…he has been my hero for a very very long time. I enjoyed sharing his work in my classrooms when I taught at my university. Bless this man and his work…he should be required reading…from Kindergarten on up. I feel blessed to be alive at this time in history along with this brilliant man.
Most intelligent dude alive. Sharp AF! His history, where he came from, what he was taught, and where he is now, is crazy!🙏
Thomas Sowell is nothing short of a national treasure. We won't see another in our lifetime.
Couldn't have said it better ourselves!
Why? Because he agrees with your views?
@@nativeyo This may come as a shock to you but maybe he is an intellectual who can explain his points in simple language. I highly recommend his book Common Sense and you will see what I mean.
@@friday13thfan97 he's an intellectual that trashes other intellectuals for having a different opinion than him. How is that a national treasure?
I agree 100%! I do not look forward to the day of his passing for two reasons. One..the loss of his brilliance, and two...the sad fact that his loss will be ignored by the elites that run this country.
I'm glad he's getting the recognition he deserves. Oh wow, an Eric July appearance?! Nice!
It’s a disgrace this man was not yet honoured by the president for his contributions.

A pledge to a Thomas Sowell foundation: please make sure that the work of this great man is spread through the world in all languages.
One of the great scholars of our times. In fact in the history of the world.
Thomas Sowell deserves a Presidential Medal.
He made me like economics.
Thomas Sowell's and Ayn Rand's books opened my eyes on freedom and what it means to live in a free world.
and boy are we far from it.
My dad according to family, family friends, as well as the amount of ayn rand books he has, was a huge objectivist in college and although not an objectivist anymore still quotes her on a daily basis. I got introduced to her book the new left by my dad, and that was an amazing book. It hit too close to home when she started talking about the comprachicos.
I am also reading her book on epistemology, which is amazing. It is hard, and I have had to start over from the beginning again, but it is still a good book. Too bad no one my own age has heard of Ayn Rand. Not many teens are into that. Although maybe the top commenter might be interested in discussing ayn rand.
Sowell is one of those intellects I point to that the left ignores because he doesn't understand the struggle. Oh, and he happens to be black...born in 1930...
@@WiseOwl_1408 --- You are wrong about Ayn Rand, don't believe gossip.....
@@johnludtke4416 Yeah. Good thinking. I do the same, however I am more well versed in Ayn Rand's work, so I am more of an Ayn Rand kind of guy.
Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, cal Thomas and George Will were my go tos for learning about everything outside of school. Fortunately that was still a time when schools taught actual history and literature.
There’s no one that tops Thomas Sowell.
I wish I'd been taught about Thomas Sowell at school ... I honestly think it would have changed my life !
Sowell is a living American Legend and really, he's a world treasure.
So True and an understatement.
I feel fortunate, no Blessed, to have discovered Thomas Sowell. First thru the “Uncommon Knowledge” interviews on CZcams, his other videos and writings. What an American story and world treasure. God Bless you Sir.
Freaking love that dude! He's like the wise neighborhood Grandpa that everyone goes to for answers. I hope he keeps putting out more knowledge. We need more wise people, let's help him create them!
Exactly...i think he " taught us how to think...critical. thinking...his logic unassailabe because he did the work....and " the soft bigotry of low expecations" HAS. to be the best quote ever...on Crossfire and other tv shows where he would demolish whtever left-leaning , opposing opinion punching bag they put in front of the camera...i felt bad for them....it was as if they were unaware of critical thinlng problms with their argumnt....several just gave up....the EXACT same look Mike Tyson created in his prime...still on youtube assuming they havnt been displaced accidentally...

In *Basic Economics* I believe the quote is "If people don't stop and think, what difference does it make whether they are geniuses or idiots?"
@@workingstiff19 On top of that I have uploaded a video of how Milton Friedman proves that colonialism and slavery had brought the West to Africa, where hey hadn't even invented the wheel.

I just discovered Dr Sowell and I’m amazed, thankful and addicted I’ve been binge reading his work. Thank you for this man life’s work, his sacrifice and his bravery.
I am in my 60's and only recently came across the works of Thomas Sowell and I am so impressed by theis great interlectual. I l am not an American.

"It is usually futile to talk facts and analysis to the people who are enjoying a moral superiority in their ignorance" - Thomas sowell
The Saiyern... fyi... it's the Papacy that promotes Climate Change... they are the Deep State. They are the power that is "subverting" society behind the scenes. They are like an Aspen Grove with many trees but one root system. The Illuminati, the U.N., the EU, the WEF, the CFR, CIA, NSA, the IMF, the Federal Reserve, the "banksters," the Club of Rome, the Council of 300, the Bilderbergers, the Trilateral Commission, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media are just some of the trees that make up that grove.
They are using the Hegelian Dialectic to achieve their goals (problem, reaction, solution). And as Catechism 2188 shows, part of their solution for society's problems is a Sunday law. That's also why they promote Climate Change. It's about getting non-religious people on board with a Sunday law for the sake of lowering carbon emissions and saving the planet: adventmessenger.org/over-650-catholic-organization-world-wide-are-working-to-implement-the-popes-green-sunday-law/
If you go to www.anym.org/pdf/National_Sunday_Law.pdf you can read a free pdf Bible study that talks about the coming conflict between God's seventh-day Sabbath vs. the Pope's man-made Sunday sacredness. It identifies the two beasts of Revelation 13, the anti-Christ, and what the Mark of the Beast is all about and how to avoid getting it.
Btw... if you are not convinced about the Jesuits and the Vatican... did you know both of Trump's nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court went to the same elite Jesuit high school in Bethesda, MD? www.nytimes.com/2018/07/10/us/kavanaugh-gorsuch-georgetown-prep.html
Think about the power it takes to pull something like that off. And Trump's latest appointment to the Supreme Court (Amy Barrett) is also Catholic. The Papacy is looking to implement their social teaching called "the common good." It's ideology is Collectivist in nature and is opposed to the American concept of Individualism.
If you're still not buying the Papacy is the Deep State... go into Google images and type "Vatican City snake head audience hall." As you look at that picture... think about where the Pope is sitting when he talks to the audience.
If you're looking for more Red Pill knowledge about the global elite, Dr. Walter Veith is a great resource. He was into the occult world before becoming a Christian and has some very well documented PowerPoint presentations that are loaded with pictures and are real eye openers.

Sowell ignores the role of capitalist greed and the so called innovative banking industry. Sowells game is to show that capitalism has two sides to the same coin.
@@kimobrien. The other side is also greedy. However, today's capitalism is nothing but putrid wretched excess at this point in your reference to the banking industry.
@@brutonano9521 All that finance capitalism has become is giant gambling casino with industrial capitalism providing the surplus value to gamble with. The very success of finance capitalism's profiteering undercuts its ability to advance the productive forces. The rise in capital value also means the reduction of labor time which results in declining profit rates in capitalist industry when markets are already overflowing with overproduction.
I have been aware of Thomas Sowell for quite a few years now, and the man is so clear thinking and precise when presenting his idea. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in History and also received an MA in the same subject and he makes be feel like the many hours of reading and writing were not enough. He is brilliant even in my specialty and that wasn’t his primary focus, which was economics. When he passes, the World will have lost a great mind.
I'm a bit late here, but I can't help but express how I thoroughly enjoyed this amazing homage to THE Thomas Sowell whom I revere to the max!! Awesome video! 💜
“I am not your brother I am Mr. Sowell and you will address me as such.” - Thomas Sowell
so badass, once a Marine always a Marine.
I will admit I am not knowledgable of Mr. Sowell, but from the quote you have provided, if this is his words, I am suspect of any Black man that does not value the brotherhood of men. I am also suspect of anyone that Larry Elder speaks highly of.
@@ZebraFacts Insinuating that you're a brother to any man who walks into your office purely based off the skin color that you share, is absolutely foolish. (A student calling a professor, "brotha") It's called respect, a thing that many people my age fail at delivering. And the fact that you didn't understand the quote was directly from this documentary, tells me not only you didn't watch it, but that you're opposed to being challenged on your own opinions.
I would never share something as personal as brotherhood with someone who's a murderer or rapist or pedophile just for the sake of, "brotherhood of men." And I most certainly wouldn't give it away to anyone just because they have the same color as myself. Tribalism like that will only harm the communities who keep any significance in it. Just look at any gang to see what I'm talking about.
@@ZebraFacts It wasn't about the "brotherhood of men" and I think you know that. It was about being "brothers" on account of their shared skin color. Thomas Sowell is a rare person who understands that skin color isn't and shouldn't be important.
His marine training gave him his remarkable empathy and reverence for the sanctity of life and made him the killing machine we all know and love.
@@ZebraFacts Damn Yargis really pointed out your ignorance. And I love and agree with every word he said.
If everyone believed like Thomas did so many problems in this world would go away. I'm really convinced of that
@Steven.. You are assuming all the problems of the work are caused by people of color. Well, as the say assumption will make an a** out of you, and uption McFly.

@@gregorybrooks1888 he said everyone, not "people of color."
@@gregorybrooks1888hahahahaha! You’re assuming that he was assuming the problems in the world are caused by people of color. My educated guess is that most of the world’s problems are caused by government. Doesn’t matter the race of those in the government. Power is a tempting idea. Those who seek it usually do so for nefarious reasons. Some really do want power for benevolence. I think the former is more prevalent.

"It doesn't matter how smart you are unless you think!"

psedo-smart comment. You get smart by thinking. Not buy taking the thesis that black people brought poverty upon ghemselves and arguing backwards from that premise to find "evidence" to support it.
Your strawman says that you haven't heard or read a word Thomas Sowell has said.
@@concilium1 I also think the quote is a pseudo-smart statement. It's the ability to be able to make sense of your thoughts, facts, experiences which makes the difference. If you are able to analyse matters and understand the implications of facts then you are winning - I'm sure we all experience times where we spend a lot of time thinking but it only amounts to a headache or further confusion. I'm still listening to the video, but if Sowell's arguing that people are solely responsible for their own low economic and social status he can eff right off. We've all known honest, hardworking intelligent people who remain in a shit situation because the cards are stacked against them.

Mr. Sowell is one of the greatest intellectuals I've ever heard. I plan on buying all of his books in hardcopy before Amazon decides its "wrong think".
Wise thing... Am in Africa feeling so cheated. We never heard about this fantastic guy. He would have done wonders for our leadership had they studied under him. Instead, most went to USSR, to get a socialist based education.
I started to realize the same thing when Amazon axed E. Michael Jones works completely from their store. When they axed Parler, which I don't use because I think there is a deeper problem with ALL social media, I started looking in to closing my Amazon account on principle. What I found out was that, even though they deceive you with a "Buy" button for kindle books, you don't actually own the books. If you close your account, they take all the books you paid for off your kindle.
