Thanks for doing EXACTLY as I predicted, Dippy (or is it Tommy or Primo?). You're excused.
What’s wrong with Thomas Sowell?
Thomas Sowell, I think it is fair to say, is first and foremost a pundit. He has made his career less on scholarly arguments accountable to the rigorous critique of his peers and more on quotable quips, book-length tirades, and debate clap lines for the adulation of his libertarian fans and conservative think tank colleagues. Even though they are hollow when you knock on them, Sowell presents his arguments with confidence and frames the story as being one of an incompetent, mean-spirited economic left against a sensible, evidence-based economic right. When that is a story you already believe, Sowell’s arguments appear compelling, and his demeanor is confident and charismatic. But ultimately, Sowell is better at rhetorical flourish than thoughtful empirical analysis or philosophical consistency. I worry that too many Christians assume with Sowell that those on the left are simply ignorant and naive or resentful, even while failing to recognize the devastating problems with every part of Sowell’s program.

Who the fuck is Dawson Vosburg? You post some old bollox and we are expected to treat it as carved on tablets of stone on Mount Sinai.
Just another Phd analyst who happens to nail Sowell's short comings. Like all intellectual cowards and blowhards, YOU AVOID THE CONTENT and try to discredit the label (or in this case, the non-celebrity).
Like I said, you ran to your little token darlings to bolster your bigotry. But if you want pedigreed critique: https://www.amazon.com/review/R1NX9L84XFXFY2
Look up who Gintis was...I tire of doing homework for the willfully ignorant.
