Thomas Sowell: Common Sense in a Senseless World traces Sowell’s journey from humble beginnings to the Hoover Institution, becoming one of our era’s most controversial economists, political philosophers, and prolific authors. Hosted by Jason Riley, a member of The Wall Street Journal editorial board, the one-hour program features insights from Sowell and interviews with his close friends and associates, revealing why the intensely private Thomas Sowell is considered by many to be “one of the greatest minds of the past half-century” and “the smartest person in the room.”

Audience Member "Hard data, facts, then write, teach" is a sign of a brilliant scholar who insists upon truth beyond flourishing theory. Thomas Sowell, a treasure, rarity, who seeks truth of life based on real experience rather than academic posturing. A Godsend is he. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A documentary of this nature is long overdue but well worth the wait. It's a marvellous introduction to the trailblazer that is Thomas Sowell and it was such a refreshing documentary to watch. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review deke p One of, if not the greatest living intellectuals of America. This documentary should be seen by all. If it is not 'CANCELLED!!" I saw it when I was shocked to see it on local PBS, if i recall they buried it about the time of the SUPER BOWL, early Feb 2021. Also, READ HIS BOOKS & articles! The full documentary can be watched FREE ONLINE now, and probably for a long time, at FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, at this link: https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/thomas-sowell-common-sense-in-a-senseless-world-full-video/ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
