  • World-renowned free market thinker Thomas Sowell is an economist, social theorist, philosopher and author. In 1981, Sowell appeared in a televised debate on a show called Firing Line, featuring William Buckley. This epic debate puts Sowell's free market philosophy to the test.
    Dr. Sowell is questioned by Harriet Pilpel, a lawyer and feminist activist who asks him how he would bring about more equality in society for women and minorities. Citing the gender wage gap, Pilpel asks Sowell how he can explain these discrepancies, and what the underlying causes might be.
    In just under five minutes Professor Sowell totally deconstructs the equality myths that are still perpetuated in the media, academia and the halls of government to this day.

      black or white doesn't matter, we just need the cultural Marxists gone for good, the color of the people we replace them with is not important.
      Having said that Thomas Sowell's upbringing and understanding of the issues gives his position considerable weight and possibly if blacks listen to what he has to say rather than someone like Ron Paul they might be more likely to accept it, rather than going with the feel good platitudes of Obama the globe trotting communist.
      Actually, his upbringing and understanding of the issues would give his position considerable weight with whites as well, since a lot of us are stuck with guilt over having "white privilege".
      Listening to Thomas Sowell explain things is very similar to how I felt upon listening to Karen Straughan for the first time, it's like, in order to really accept what I'm being told it has to come from the "oppressed" group, so I guess my point is, race shouldn't matter, but it does.

If you collapse everything under the sex column without paying attention to the distinctions within a column, then you are a brain dead, idiot leftist. At what point do we ban these people from voting? They are too stupid to be allowed a say in anything.

      Jason Luke I disagree. Freedom is an inherent right but it can be taken away and given by others (i.e. slavery, imprisonment, etc). As far as conservatives being openly racist I also disagree. Many conservatives I know despise American black culture for a multitude of reasons. This doesn’t make them racist. I think you need to understand what racism is before making a statement on it. The modern woke liberal ideology has always tried to change language to suit their political goals but it’s hard to redefine something so broadly known by calling everyone a racist just based on differing views.

    It's funny how every sentence she uttered relied on a subtle point of vagueness, which Sowell, an expert on those kinds of arguments, can identify in a blink. He makes it look easy. His is a very clever way of getting to the heart of the matter. Anyone can claim that statistical comparisons of this kind come up unequal due to cultural differences influencing the choices of individual subjects; by simply comparing groups of people who have made the same choices, Sowell proves it beyond a doubt.

    Yep - there's plenty of data to support Sowell. Females out number men in colleges and universities today - but most tend to still pick degree programs that will cause them to earn less money. Males in greater numbers choose degree programs in fields where they will ultimately make more money. Statistics also show that women actually earn more money than men when beginning their careers. But over the years men work longer hours and spend more time on the job which eventually causes their worth to employers to increase. Also raising children causes women to be less able to be completely focused on careers - and that is especially true for single mothers with kids. Lastly - if there are no real differences between men and women - and it's just a matter of employer bias that keeps women from earning more - why wouldn't companies fill all jobs with women who would do the exact same work for less money. None of it adds up - but then again - logic has no place in today's world.

Instead, liberals have a habit of applying general figures that omit these things, thus giving the appearance that "certain" groups of people are paid less either because of the color of their skin or because they have a vagina vs a penis. Their entire argument is completely LUDICROUS.

    This video is not really a debate about women and minorities' economic situation. The broader meaning here is about how statistics can be misused to bolster grievances which drive policy makers to seek the wrong solutions to wrong questions. This is really about methodology in interpreting statistics!
