Thomas Sowell is the author of “A Conflict of Visions,” to which reference is made in this video clip. You could read Sowell’s book and not be easily able to tell what his political and social perspectives are, because it is a very even-handed presentation of the matter of “visions of the public good” and “visions of the nature of the human person.” Here he is discussing the vision of Barack Obama.
What would you pay to see an extended discussion between Thomas Sowell and Barack Obama, on virtually any issue now before the republic? It would be guaranteed to be eye-opening.
