Thomas Sowell explains why different cultures can produce very different ways of thinking, and why Americans and the French often approach problems from completely different perspectives. Sometimes, the biggest difference is how people view individual responsibility, institutions, and incentives.

Thomas Sowell explored why people in different societies can develop very different ways of thinking. His point was that culture, institutions and incentives shape how people interpret the world — not simply intelligence or nationality. The lesson is bigger than Americans vs. the French: How we think is often shaped by the environment around us.

Thomas Sowell explains why he’s no friend to politics or politicians. His point is simple: politicians have incentives to tell people what they want to hear, while the consequences of their decisions are often paid by everyone else. Another reminder from Sowell to look past political promises and focus on incentives, consequences, and reality.

Thomas Sowell often reminds us that having natural resources doesn’t automatically make a country prosperous. The Congo has enormous mineral wealth, yet geography, institutions, political incentives and historical circumstances have all played a role in its struggles. Natural resources are only valuable when a country has the institutions and incentives to turn them into prosperity.

Thomas Sowell explains why Donald Trump’s stance on tax cuts makes economic sense. His argument? Lower tax rates can strengthen incentives to work, invest, save and build businesses, potentially creating more economic growth. Another classic Sowell lesson: don’t just look at what the government collects. Look at what happens to the economy when incentives change

Thomas Sowell breaks down the real story behind America’s economic struggles during the Great Depression. Instead of just blaming “greed” or capitalism, Sowell looks at the policies, incentives, and decisions that shaped what happened, and why the lessons from that era still matter today.

Thomas Sowell has spent years examining how culture, incentives and government policies shape family life. The debate over marriage isn’t just about relationships, it’s about how society changes when marriage and family become less important. A fascinating look at the arguments behind the Left’s war on marriage and why Sowell’s ideas on family, culture and responsibility still matter today.

Thomas Sowell breaks down a simple but often overlooked point: disparity does not automatically mean discrimination. Different outcomes can have many different causes, and assuming discrimination is the answer before looking at the facts can lead us completely in the wrong direction. Another great reminder from Sowell to question the assumptions behind the numbers.

Hoover Senior Fellow Thomas Sowell delivers a sweeping critique of American education, affirmative action, and modern universities—drawing on his journey from Harlem classrooms to elite institutions, decades of research, and hard data. Dr. Sowell argues that ideology has too often replaced knowledge and that well-intentioned policies can harm those they aim to help, raising urgent questions about race, schooling, AI, and the future of American institutions.

Wanted to resurface Satya Nadella's recommendation of "Two Paths to Prosperity." The book traces how China and Europe developed different social organizations and how those structures shaped economic and political trajectories across a millennium. Very relevant today.

Thomas Sowell takes a critical look at some of the assumptions behind modern feminism. Rather than focusing on slogans, Sowell’s approach is to examine the incentives, trade-offs and unintended consequences behind different ideas about work, family and equality. A thought-provoking discussion about gender, economics and society.

🚨 VENEZUELA’S JORGE JRAISSATI: FREEDOM, SOCIALISM AND HOW A COUNTRY REBUILDS In Dubrovnik, I spoke with Venezuelan economist Jorge Jraissati, President of the @Econ_Inclusion Economic Inclusion Group. Jorge grew up watching Venezuela move from prosperity into economic collapse. His focus now is not simply on describing what went wrong — but on how a free society can be rebuilt. We spoke about: Socialism and Venezuela’s collapse. Why political leaders need solutions, not slogans. Free markets and financial inclusion. The importance of free speech. Why Europeans should not take their freedoms for granted. Demographic decline and why mass migration is not a substitute for family formation. And whether Brussels has moved too far away from the original idea of European cooperation. Jorge makes a powerful point: People who have lived through authoritarianism understand something that comfortable societies can forget — freedom can be lost. Political freedom. Economic freedom. Freedom of speech. The freedom to build, invest, take risks and create a future for your family. We also discussed Venezuela’s future and why Jorge believes the country now has an opportunity to rebuild through stronger institutions, investment, property rights and economic freedom. And his message to Europe was equally clear: The government should not decide what is acceptable speech. Once governments acquire that power, the danger of authoritarianism becomes very real. This is a fascinating conversation with someone who has experienced the consequences of political and economic failure first-hand — and who is now focused on what comes next. Jorge Jraissati
