I love Thomas Sowell. It’s extraordinarily impressive that while Dr. Sowell is 90 years old, he’s still sharp as an arrow. As a matter of fact he’s about to release a new book.

Also, from what I could gather from Twitter, it appears that recently more and more people are following his unofficial Twitter account. I’ve counted thousand new followers by the day.

Yeah, Sowell is still writing books like age never impacted him! He's amazing. He's also very careful to stay politically neutral about every issue he touches upon.

His book "Basic Economics" keeps getting updates every 5 years or so, at this stage it's almost an encyclopedia of economic principles.

It's worth noting that the most effective propaganda is the kind that convinces you it's "neutral."
