No wonder Dr. Sowell is pessimistic about the future--he's been arguing against the winds of conventional wisdom for over 40 years. I would have given up trying long ago. Sad state of our world.
Thanks for the upload! Absolutely phenomenal to go back in time and listen to Sowell before today's further capitalization of polarized politics and economic mismoners that follow.
This is so sad. Almost 20 years later and nothing has changed. If you had told me that Sowell had recorded this interview in 2021, I wouldn’t have batted an eye. Our institutions are still failing our students in the exact same ways sowell points out here.
Exactly same as in Los Angeles, they spend billions of dollars for homelessness and its still doesn't change a bit. Why- they spend money to create burocracy and offices instead of actual help for homeless
Read his autobiography he wrote 30 years ago. He was a real firebrand. I miss the Diane Rehm show, she was left leaning but stayed toward the middle. The 1A show is full left.
I love Dr. Sowell’s insights, but mostly I miss Diane Rehm’s voice and willingness to allow her guests to tell their stories. NPR used to be a place that respected all thoughtful ideas. Public broadcasting lost so much in terms of intellectual depth when Diane Rehm retired and Charlie Rose was forced out.
Just because you feel strongly about something don't mean that you will think the same about it when the feeling goes away! Then what? Most decisions that are regretted, are normally 70/30 of the time using their feeling to 🤔 think! 70% feeling, 30 % thought! 70 % decisions , 30% gosh I wish I would have ????
In the 90's before there was UA-cam or Fox News, and when all the t.v. media networks were dominated by Liberal ideology, CSPAN was the only place a Conservative could go. Well C-Span and talk radio. Brian Lamb who ran C-Span did the best job of being politically objective and giving time to both Conservative and Liberal opinions that I've ever seen.
Ive been looking for every Thomas Sowell video i can find
it is an addiction. knowledge with purpose
Me too. I'm all over any new video that I come across of Thomas Sowell.
I'm sure they're all here. Hope you read his books too.
Me too
right?
I love finding these hidden gems.
Same, thank you yt algorithm
Success! A Thomas Sowell video I haven't seen yet!
This is a great man. His knowledge and wisdom is refreshing.
This man is a national treasure. He deserves his own Mount Rushmore all by himself.

I love the fact I found this gem!

Ummmm, almost 30 years later….. you can’t count???
This guy is smart. And it is all rational. I’m going to read his books.
This was from 1993 but it may as well have been last week
This man has been saying this for decades and no one listens
And this was back in '93.
Sowell has been right about a great many things, a great many years ahead of time. Pretty sad state of affairs when one thinks about it.
He was only right about everything
Thomas Sowell has spoken as the lord would. God bless
6:57 Mr. Sowell cannot contain himself. This is one of the funniest clips I have ever seen!
This is whats wrong with most adults today now.
Brillant man
Exactly same as in Los Angeles, they spend billions of dollars for homelessness and its still doesn't change a bit. Why- they spend money to create burocracy and offices instead of actual help for homeless
Exactly
04:00 Affective education
13:23 real shit and what’s crazy was that was in 1093 it’s 2022. WTF is really going on.
A lot of his points foreshadow the teaching of CRT in schools.
Read his autobiography he wrote 30 years ago. He was a real firebrand. I miss the Diane Rehm show, she was left leaning but stayed toward the middle. The 1A show is full left.
Just here because I'm dealing with CRT at my son's college.
Imagine Thomas Sowell being your uncle. Dang.
Exactly they run it the way they want to run it
Not schools only, but the universities too.
If only he knew then how badly the education system would turn out to be now
Schools today and for the last 40 years teach kids what to learn and not how to learn.

This man is the face of facts
"drunk drivers", "dumbing down"
- Thomas Sowell
The "experts" who came up with all this need to use plain old common sense.
No. The experts need to be imprisoned for causing generations of people living in poverty.
Dian rehm should've never had a show
Adorable laugh economist :D

yes, but society was sooooo much better when all these right wing pundits were restricted to AM radio!
@SmackItUp-FlipIt-RubItDown even though Limbaughs show was the most listened to radio show in the country. Make sure you get your facts right.
