Thomas Sowell
Thomas Sowell is a renowned American economist and author, known for his conservative and libertarian views on economics, race, and social policy. Born on June 30, 1930, Sowell has had a prolific career, serving as a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He has written numerous books and articles that challenge prevailing economic theories and advocate for free-market principles. Sowell is particularly noted for his critique of government intervention in the economy and his analysis of the effects of various social policies. His work has earned him a significant following among conservatives and libertarians, and he is often sought for his insights on contemporary economic issues. Recently, he made headlines by warning that President Donald Trump's tariffs could lead to a trade war reminiscent of the disastrous Smoot-Hawley tariffs of the 1930s, which exacerbated the Great Depression.
