Dr. Thomas Sowell is one of the most influential economists of the late-twentieth century and early-twenty-first century. Beyond being a trained economist, Dr. Sowell has made significant contributions to social theory, political philosophy, and social history. His contributions to scholarship could be reflected in his extraordinary intellectual output as he published more than forty books throughout his intellectual life.<\/p>\n
Despite being an influential economist, Dr. Sowell was also a very controversial public intellectual. Controversial not for propagating conspiracies but controversial for defending what\u2019s supposed to be obvious to everyone. Throughout his life, Dr. Sowell used the pen as a sword to fight for what he believed was right; the preservation of individual liberty and a free society.<\/p>\n
However, his fight for freedom was resented by the mainstream media, the intelligentsia, the political class, and the Black community. While the mainstream media, the intelligentsia, and the political class labeled him as \u201ccold\u201d and \u201cinsensitive\u201d to the struggle of the lower classes; the Black community pigeonholed him as a \u201csellout,\u201d and an \u201cUncle Tom.\u201d As a result, Dr. Sowell\u2019s reach to the mainstream was severely limited, and the Nobel Prize in Economics has eluded him. On the other hand, conservatives have highly praised him for his academic rigor, and use of logical reasoning to ascertain his stances.<\/p>\n
The objective of this biographical work is to provide a detailed account of Dr. Sowell\u2019s work, the rationale behind his stances, and a thorough portrait of the man\u2019s intellectual life, which explains why he was misunderstood.<\/p>\n
