A documentary chronicling the life and work of Thomas Sowell, narrated by Manhattan Institute senior fellow and
Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley, has now been released for public viewing. It is a preview of Riley’s written biography of Sowell titled
Maverick, which will be released on May 25 and is available for pre-order now. Sowell, a brilliant economist known for his conservative views, has published his work widely but has remained personally somewhat reclusive.
Riley previewed his work in an interview with Dave Rubin. Riley, who has known Sowell for about 15 years, became familiar with his work during college when he debated affirmative action. A classmate said Riley sounded like the famous economist.
