I’m not one to lionize folks prematurely, but Thomas Sowell’s wisdom has been so consistent for so many years now, recognizing his wisdom is not premature but rather long past due. It is recognizing a man of courage who has told the truth for years and suffered the hatred of the foolish crowds.

“One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is en vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again” (Thomas Sowell).
