À propos de ce contenu audio
This podcast profiles the life and philosophy of Thomas Sowell, a prominent economist who critiques the "anointed" class of intellectuals for prioritizing abstract theories over empirical reality. The texts argue that modern intellectuals often champion a vision of "liberation" from traditional social restraints, which Sowell contends has historically led to disastrous outcomes like family disintegration and increased crime. Through books like Intellectuals and Society, he highlights a dangerous lack of accountability among idea workers who influence public policy without facing the consequences of their failed prescriptions. Parables within the collection further illustrate the risks of abandoning ancestral wisdom and the necessity of pairing personal freedom with individual responsibility. Ultimately, the sources celebrate Sowell’s commitment to hard data and his belief that the prosperity of ordinary people depends on a refuge from the presumptuous social engineering of elites.
