Influential he was. One of the most influential in all of history.

(I am reading a biography of him now. Apparently, he became a nearly mythological figure after his death. His supporters who knew the details of his life weren’t sure what the fallout would be when the details of his life/character ultimately got out.)

Thank you. Sowell is to social studies as Einstein was to physics. IMO.

Consistently excellent books! “Intellectuals and Society” is one of my favorite books ever.
