Dedicated to providing links to the videos, podcasts, essays, articles, and books of Thomas Sowell, one of the great scholars of the 20th-21st centuries. No one who claims an understanding of economics, race, education, and social issues can expect consideration without confronting the facts and arguments of Mr. Sowell.
