Why New Thomas Sowell Fans Should Read a Few of His Books on Economics Before Reading Any on Politics and Culture

<p>In this article, I will review Thomas Sowell&rsquo;s most influential (non-academic) books, explain how they helped me change my worldview over several years which was a painful process to go through, how they helped shaped my understanding of economics early on, and suggest an optimal order for reading these books based on my personal experience and the complexity of the concepts they cover.</p> <p>Thesis: Many of Thomas Sowell&rsquo;s books, particularly &ldquo;Basic Economics,&rdquo; serve as essential reading material for any person seeking a better understanding of how the world works because the economy is such a huge factor in everyone&rsquo;s life.
