Published 2024-06-15
Wrongs abound in times and places around the world - inflicted on, and perpetrated by, people of virtually every race, creed and color. But what can any society today hope to gain by having newborn babies in that society enter the world as heirs to prepackaged grievances against other babies born into that same society on the same day.

    Thomas Sowell is a national treasure. If heā€™s talking, Iā€™m listening.
  • I always get a better outlook when I listen to our great thinker Thomas Sowell. Thank you. ā¤ļøšŸ™
  • Sadly, the masses are not listening to reason. We are in the early stages of a collapse of civilization. This end is still many, many miserable decades away, but it now appears irreversible.
  • @MuniTechnology
    Priority disparity+effort disparity+culture disparity=income disparity
  • @catsspat
    The acceptable income inequality ratio is always infinity, because zero to non-zero is infinity. People who aren't willing to produce anything at all, shouldn't be paid anything.

    Free Market Capitalism lifts all boats and when we all contribute to society by working, inventing, innovation creates a civil society with a flow of products and services provided for all. Participation is the key, not sitting on the sofa a asking someone else to do the work. We all must contribute.
  • If you have little talent, knowledge or something to sell or place you apart......then you are marginalized by yourself. Not marginalized by other people.

    Children learn what they live. If youā€™re raised by Government handouts, it appears ok. If your parent or parents are hard working, it appears ok.
  • @tomcoleman8753
    Sanity, facts and informed correct education. Thank you again Mr. Sowell and co!

    It's no sin to be born into poverty. It's happened to the best of us. However, if you remain poor all your life, then you're doing something wrong. Re-examine what you're doing, and then determine what needs to be done better. Don't rail against "the system" or "inequality."
  • @bravobello748
    He is a brilliant scholar! Thank you for uploding this interview!
  • @danielpye7738
    I think in one clip he used the Aboriginal people of Australia as an example of not knowing what they had. The biggest and easiest deposits of iron ore in the world but no knowledge of how to utilise it. Australia was not short on gold etc either. This can be applied to many native peoples but not all obviously. Take the Aztec, Inca etc. Worked wonders with gold but were defeated in no small part by gunpowder invented in China used by the Spanish. There is no equality between siblings either, children from the same parents can have vastly different outcomes in life.
  • @mjjoseph8259
    Incredible insight by Prof. Sowell.Most don't think about that big difference in geography between Western and Eastern Europe.A big reason why Russia was barely out of the Middle Ages before the 20th century.And Sowell is in favor of equal opportunity,not equal outcome.DEI is a sham,it must be Equality,Fairness,and Merit.
  • I never really thought about some rivers as 'rivers of opportunity'. Very interesting! Thanks for the food for thought.
  • I think thomas stowell should be the National Economic Advisor and Policy Council...

    Every Thomas Sowell video/doc should be mandatory learning. :) Thomas Sowell 2024
