Lessons from the past

Thomas Sowell
EFFECTIVE POLICIES: January 29, 2019 Seventy-one years ago this month — in January 1948 — a black, 17-year-old high school dropout left home. The last grade he had completed was the 9th grade. He had no skills, little experience, and not a lot of maturity. Yet he was able to find jobs to support himself, to a far greater extent than someone similar can find jobs today. I know...
Fact-free politics
Thomas Sowell 01/18/2019 - 3:38pm
FALSE CATCHWORDS: January 17, 2019 In this era when there has been more information available to more people than at any time in the past, it is also true that there has been more misinformation from more different sources than ever. We are not talking about differences of opinion or inadequate verification, but about statements and catchwords in...
Moral bankruptcy
Thomas Sowell 11/19/2018 - 5:47pm
CHARTER SCHOOLS: November 16, 2018 People who follow politics, even casually, learn not to expect high moral standards from politicians. But there are some outrages that show a new low, even for politicians. Among the consequences of Democrats’ recent election victories, especially at the state and local levels, is the election of...

A classic example is the phrase “tax cuts for the rich,” which is loudly proclaimed by opponents, whenever there is a proposal to reduce tax rates. The current...
Random thoughts, looking back
Thomas Sowell 12/27/2016 - 12:07pm
LOOKING BACK: December 27, 2016 Any honest man, looking back on a very long life, must admit — even if only to himself — being a relic of a bygone era. Having lived long enough to have seen both “the greatest generation” that fought World War II and the gratingest generation that we see all around us today, makes being a...
Farewell: Sowell retiring at 86
Thomas Sowell 12/27/2016 - 11:58am
LOOKING BACK: December 27, 2016 Even the best things come to an end. After enjoying a quarter of a century of writing this column for Creators Syndicate, I have decided to stop. Age 86 is well past the usual retirement age, so the question is not why I am quitting, but why I kept at it so long. It was very fulfilling to be able to share my...
