Thomas Sowell is a brilliant economist who studied the social changes from the 1960s until today. He has been very outspoken about America's culture of materialism, consumerism, civil rights, and political norms. Sowell has written several books and essays on topics well ahead of his time, such as affirmative action, race, and economics in the 1970s. Ideas that Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance look at today. I am sure his time in the Marine Corps during the Korean War inspired him to do great things. He is a philosopher, photographer, and sociologist who will challenge your way of thinking. Sowell was a devoted Marxist in his early days but became a free-market libertarian the more he studied.

Thomas Sowell has lots of fun quotes:

• "It is amazing that people who think we cannot afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, and medication somehow think that we can afford to pay for doctors, hospitals, medication, and a government bureaucracy to administer it."
• "The welfare state is not really about the welfare of the masses. It is about the egos of the elites."
• "If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win."
• "If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting the news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference and choose their news sources accordingly."
