Thomas Sowell (born June 30, 1930) is America's most famous black conservative author. His book A Conflict of Visions contrasts the political beliefs of the modern left and right. [1] Sowell has a Ph.D in Economics from Harvard University, and is currently a Senior Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. [2]
Sowell, who cites George Will as a personal influence, prefers writing for popular audiences over writing for more "academic" setting, saying that "writing for the general public enables him to address the heart of issues without the smoke and mirrors that so often accompany academic writing". [3]
