"Social Pathologies & Sowell" with Theodore Dalrymple

The Genius of Thomas Sowell

This episode features a deep dive into Theodore Dalrymple's 2001 masterpiece
"Life at the Bottom," one of Thomas Sowell's favorite books, and one of my all time favorites as well.
I strongly suggest you read or listen to this book as soon as possible, You can thank me later. I prefer the audiobook to the written book, just because the audiobook narrator does such a fantastic job.
I interview Dalrymple about his book and about his thoughts on Sowell's body of work.
