Dr. Thomas Sowell
Writing with sincerity; although my passions do not lie in economics, for more years than my aging should confess, I have admired the contemplative intelligence, personal history, and inspiration of Thomas Sowell. I own his books. I have read his books; and then, read them again (recommended starts: 'The Thomas Sowell Reader' and 'A Personal Odyssey').
My profound respect for him is beyond expression. What a gift to mankind he is.
He embodies an egalitarian self-determination to which we should aspire.
