Mobi Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell with FREE PDF EDITION Download Now!

A biography of Thomas Sowell, one of America's most influential conservative thinkers.Thomas Sowell is one of the great social theorists of our age. In a career spanning more than a half century, he has written over thirty books, covering topics from economic history and social inequality to political theory, race, and culture. His bold and unsentimental assaults on liberal orthodoxy have endeared him to many readers but have also enraged fellow intellectuals, the civil-rights establishment, and much of the mainstream media. The result has been a lack of acknowledgment of his scholarship among critics who prioritize political correctness.In the first-ever biography of Sowell, Jason L. Riley gives this iconic thinker his due and responds to the detractors. Maverick showcases Sowell's most significant writings and traces the life events that shaped his ideas and resulted in a Black orphan from the Jim Crow South becoming one of our foremost public intellectuals.

At this time of writing, The Mobi Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Mobi is Good TO READ!

Mobi Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell with FREE PDF EDITION!

This book is, as the author Jason Riley puts it, an intellectual biography; meaning it is focused more on explaining Thomas Sowell's ideas and writings than it is on telling his entire life story. Riley aims to introduce the reader to some of the most important things that Sowell has written, while giving just enough personal history about Sowell's life to help explain what might have led him to propose such often controversial ideas.There are a few paragraphs about Sowell's early childhood in the Introduction, and then the first chapter begins by describing Sowell's education at Howard, Harvard, Columbia, and finally the University of Chicago. Riley explains what factors led Sowell to go from identifying with Marxist ideologies in his 20s, to eventually rejecting Marxism and supporting a free market economic system. Riley details the influence of scholars like George Stigler, Milton Friedman, Gary Becker, and Friedrich Hayek, and how a young Sowell responded to some of their ideas.Throughout the nine chapters of the book, Riley often addresses the criticisms of Sowell's work, and explains how critics have misrepresented or misunderstood Sowell's points. Riley includes many direct quotes from Sowell, while also giving more context for the quotes by describing the intellectual environment of the time, and Sowell's personal journey.I learned quite a bit about Thomas Sowell by reading this book, and have a new found appreciation for his devotion to logical arguments and rational thought; often in face of conflict due to unpopular opinions. He strikes me as someone who is more interested in the truth than what people think about him, and to some extent I get the same impression of the author Jason Riley. I would recommend this book to anyone remotely interested Sowell, whether or not you think you agree with his opinions.
