A Little Bit O’ Sowell

Subscribe to The Ricochet PodcastSubscribe

This week, we're lucky to be joined by the great Dr. Thomas Sowell, (buy his newly revised classic book Wealth, Poverty and Politics: An International Perspective). The good doctor schools us on economics, school choice, and a particularly vivid metaphor for the current election cycle. Spoiler alert: those who fear flying may want to have their thumb on the 30 second skip button for that part of the interview. Also, Hillary's coughing, Trump ♥ Putin, and it's a certain TV show's 50th anniversary that a certain podcast host has some opinions on.
