Thomas Sowell: A Beacon of Reason in a Nonsensical World
Posted on
When I hear the name Thomas Sowell, it gets my immediate attention. Dr. Sowell, recently retired from his position as Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution, is an American economist turned social theorist, political philosopher, and best-selling author.
Born in North Carolina in 1930, Sowell grew up in Harlem, New York. He dropped out of high school at age 17 due to financial difficulties and problems at home, but went on to serve in the United States Marine Corps during the Korean War. Following the war, he received a bachelor’s degree from Harvard, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1958. The following year, he received a master’s degree from Columbia University. In 1968, he earned a Doctorate in Economics from the University of Chicago.

The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come is such a simple creation that it doesn’t even really seem like a puppet – just a tall guy in robes. And yet he brings with him such an air of dread and fear that it’s only in adulthood that you realise what an effective puppet he is. We think it’s the lack of a face that makes him really scary.
