When the Numbers Tell a Different Story
A 92-year-old economist walks into the culture war-and the result is anything but quiet. Thomas Sowell's latest work has ignited fierce debate across the political spectrum, earning praise from tech moguls and intellectuals alike while drawing sharp criticism from others. What makes this particular intervention so provocative? After decades of scholarship, Sowell presents a systematic challenge to some of our most cherished assumptions about fairness and inequality, armed not with ideology but with data that refuses to cooperate with our preferred narratives. The question isn't whether you'll agree with every conclusion-it's whether you're willing to examine evidence that might unsettle your convictions.
