Thomas Sowell

<p>P&C drink and review Hop Stoopid Ale from Lagunitas Brewing, then discuss "the smartest man in the world," Thomas Sowell.</p> <p>While he never speaks much about it, Thomas Sowell has a very interesting life story that would make a good movie -- if Hollywood cared about black conservatives.</p> <p>Sowell speaks clearly, converting complicated concepts into ordinary language that regular people can understand.</p> <p>At the foundation of his philosophy is two contrasts. First, between practical knowledge and academic knowledge. Second, between the constrained vision -- that takes into account the limits of human nature -- and the unconstrained vision -- which believes man can be perfected by the correct policies.</p> <p>P&C end the show with a series of pithy Sowell quotes.</p>
