Sowell’s Uncommon Wisdom
The good people at the Hoover Institution (which is located on the campus of Stanford University) have in recent years teamed up with the good people at National Review Online to bring we good people the weekly web-cast "Uncommon Knowledge." I've linked to their stuff before, and it is almost always worth your time to check these segments out. Former Reagan speechwriter, Peter Robinson, interviews the authors of new books on everything from the state of the economy to foreign policy to cultural institutions. Each week Robinson's interviews are split up in to 5-parts and so we can get a new one each day.
This week the honored guest is none other than the wisest conservative mind around: Dr. Thomas Sowell. I'll be posting all 5 segments of Dr. Sowell's appearance, which is in conjunction with the upcoming release of his latest book, Dismantling America.

In person, Sowell is an incredibly poorly-socialized human being. However, his books are outstanding. My favorite by a long shot is his Knowledge and Decisions. In my opinion, every self-respecting political commentator, economic commentator, conservative, and classical liberal should study this book. And the upside is that Sowell can actually write incredibly well! He thinks deeply and write clearly on the most important political economy topics.
