Love Thomas Sowell - he rocks!
Very interesting. Good video clip. As you know, I'm familiar with Sowell's writing - at least about children! Would a non-economist (as in someone who did HORRIBLY on econ in college) be able to follow his econ-related books?
I've been reading his book "Basic Economics" and his desire in writing it was that anyone could pick it up and understand it. I've really enjoyed it and having never taken any economics after high school, I understand everything he's saying. There's another book of his called "Economic Facts and Fallacies" that's supposed to be like that as well, where he takes on common economic myths that are constantly repeated by politicians and the media.

He has a really short book called "Cosmic Justice" that I thought was good. It's not about kids or economics! :-) In that one he discusses the opposing movements pushing for "equal justice under law" and "equal results under law", and he does a good job making his case that liberal judicial activists - as they push to enforce "equality" between any group, actually end up promoting and entrenching inequality in the law...
Cosmic Justice sounds interesting. I might have to read that one! Maybe get the other two at the library! LOL I do love his writing. And, hey, perhaps he can teach me what my econ professor couldn't! LOL Thanks!
