Champion of Blacks and Whites
Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell, by Jason L. Riley, New York: Basic Books, 2021, 248 pages, hardcover.
“When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” This quotation, cited by Jason Riley in his biography of Thomas Sowell, sums up the life and work of the renowned economist and social commentator.
There is no question that Sowell has written hundreds of thousands of words over his long career that would certainly help his readers. Unfortunately, while many have read, heeded, and been helped by Sowell’s works, far too many Americans have not benefited from his wisdom.
