Thomas Sowell is an American economist, social commentator, and author of dozens of books. He often writes from an economically laissez-faire perspective. He is currently a senior fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 1990, he won the Francis Boyer Award, presented by the American Enterprise Institute. In 2002 he was awarded the National Humanities Medal for prolific scholarship melding history, economics, and political science.

Sowell was born in North Carolina, where, he recounted in his autobiography, A Personal Odyssey, his encounters with Caucasians were so limited he didn't believe that "yellow" was a hair color. He moved to Harlem, New York City with his mother's sister (whom he believed was his mother); his father had died before he was born. Sowell went to Stuyvesant High School, but dropped out at 17 because of financial difficulties and a deteriorating home environment. He worked at various jobs to support himself, including in a machine shop and as a delivery man for Western Union. He applied to enter the Civil Service and was eventually accepted, moving to Washington DC. He was drafted in 1951, during the Korean War, and assigned to the US Marine Corps. Due to prior experience in photography, he worked in a photography unit.

After his discharge, Sowell passed the GED examination and enrolled at Howard University. He transfered to Harvard University, where he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. He received a Master of Arts in Economics from Columbia University, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Economics from the University of Chicago. Sowell initially chose Columbia University because he wanted to study under George Stigler. After arriving at Columbia and learning that Stigler had moved to Chicago, he followed him there.

Sowell has taught Economics at Howard University, Cornell University, Brandeis University, and UCLA. Since 1980 he has been a Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, where he holds a fellowship named after Rose and Milton Friedman.

Basic Economicsis a citizen's guide to economics, written for those who want to understand how the economy works but have no interest in jargon or equations. Bestselling economist Thomas Sowell explains the general principles underlying different economic systems: capitalist, socialist, feudal, and so on. In readable language, he shows how to critique economic policies in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the goals they proclaim. With clear explanations of the entire field, from rent control and the rise and fall of businesses to the international balance of payments, this is the first book for anyone who wishes to understand how the economy functions.

This fifth edition includes a new chapter explaining the reasons for large differences of wealth and income between nations.

Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

就讀書而言,我總在尋求觀念上的更新;能在思想上引起衝擊的書,就過癮。 這本書是一本生活中經濟學常識解讀的書,讀起來很過癮。 首先,他反復強調的是懷疑精神,如何對現實生活中的概念,媒體報道,各種數據用懷疑精神去解讀,破除迷思; 幫我構建起瞭一個從經濟的角度來看世...

很有營養。 核心是自由市場。一切組織自由流動的都會降低經濟體的效率,在客觀上阻礙(比如地理條件,時間)是必然存在的,能做的是減少主觀的阻礙。 許多例子隻是用來解釋經濟學上的理想化模型,現實中的種種障礙使理想狀況很難齣現。作者用他的理論對事實加以解釋,但是實際...

右到死。不過非常具有可讀性,如果不是想正統地學習經濟學,作為普及讀物還是很不錯的。

英亞最近給瞭audible的三個月會員試用,第一本下的有聲書,因為全篇隻用語言沒有任何圖錶就給你解釋明白,如果選用一本書作為你提升專業口語的話,這是首選。
