Why don't you want to learn?

just don't want to put the effort in desu

What makes this guy so special? As far as I can tell he's just a generic conservative economist/political scientist.

but he's a BASED BLACK MAN.

He's one of the cornerstones of the Chicago School. Second biggest influence behind Friedman, if I'm not mistaken.

And Friedman is shit, so what does that tell you.

Black guys who submit to White America are bro-tier.

>what does that tell you
That you're a marxist, most likely living from your parents' money, government handouts, or a menial customer service job such as barista, waiter, call center staff or the like.

le pop economist

Read Mankiw, pleb.

You are mistaken. He is a pop economist. No one in the field takes him seriously.

>Read Mankiw, pleb.
This desu. I am practically a Marxist, but Mankiw is at least something substantial. Sowell is predigested op ed type material that Ski-Doo dealers with above ground pools read to feel smarter than their liberal kids.

>peter noone at it again.

Sowell's Google scholar results.

By way of comparison, here are Krugman's.

>stopped reading there. I hope someone takes you for a helicopter ride real soon, pinko!
Helicopter rides for advocating Mankiw. You poltards aren't very smart.

...

I do, badly. I want it more than anything else in life. More than eating, drinking, and partying like my peers.

BUT.

I need to make money or I'll have no food, no place to sleep, and no way to get the materials to learn from.

>How to get rich enough that I actually have the time to learn instead of just enough to pay the bills and go back to work.
>Preferably something that doesn't take 20 fucking years. Would choose death over 20 years of corporate wagecucking.

/pol/acks, everyone

I wouldn't say there's anything generic about Sowell. He's not only a very clear thinker he also presents his ideas very well and is very broad in scope. Knowledge and Decisions, A Conflict of Visions, Wealth Poverty and Politics, Intellectuals and Society span several domains: economy, history, philosophy, psychology, law etc.
Give A Conflict of Visions a try. It's a very compelling book on the nature of men. Pinker reused the ideas in the Blank Book.
When reading Sowell I always try to find counterexamples or lapses in logic. I rarely do.

Chicago School policies are directly responsible for the recession, and America's general decline. Notice that the healthiest economies are the ones rejecting the views of Friedman and his disciples.

fucking rofl, get out of your basement once in a while sperg

I'm not sure Friedman is the biggest influence.

I'd say that goes to von Mises. He was quite the beast.

Hayek is also a name that belongs at the very top of the list when it comes to influential people from the Chicago school.

What you are is a pretentious cunt.

What makes Sowell so great is his wide knowledge in many fields and his ability to condense complex issues into easy-to-read texts the masses can understand.

Only an elitist, leftist piece of shit hates the very masses they claim to fight for.

>Notice that the healthiest economies are the ones rejecting the views of Friedman and his disciples.

This, but just the very opposite.

>plebbit spacing
Neck yourself. Learning how to read seems too much for you at this point.

>responsible for the recession

I didn't know Friedman supported forcing banks to give loans to people who can't pay them back and giving government funds to private business that can't compete on their own.

>Veeky Forums - literature

That's exactly what a pretentious cunt would say.

This would get you plent of upvotes on r/t_D.

t. keynesian

Care to give any reasons behind this statement comrade?

Like Venezuela?

You're so informed on the subject, user! :3 Did you get that insight from the shock doctorine

Wouldn't Naomi be sayin' that Venezuela is a paradise, a testament of the success of socialism though?

it's almost like you're just piling on buzzwords whose meaning you don't even know

>buzzwords
I don't think you know what that means..

what else are mentions of "socialism" and "venezuela" in a context that has nothing to do with them?

What economies would say are the healthiest?

It was a reply to your weird and idiotic remark about the shock doctrine in response to someone asking whether or not you or whoever else posted that idiotic post about the Chicago school being behind the recession and whathaveyou.

If you can't see the context, you're stupid as hell.

1. I'm not the guy who mentioned the shock doctrine
2. since you're all about context, how did you miss that I was obviously talking about this reply: and the follow up:

>socialism and venezuela
>rejection of the free market
>somehow out of context

You're trying too hard and it's embarrassing

rejection of friedman isn't rejection of a free market yyou fucking doofus

@mods:
why the fuck is this thread still up?

Go fuck yourself.

Compare Sowell's to the average economist, though.

gb2/pol/

Yeah sure I'll do that

All you comrades on /leftypol/ would give you plenty of (You)s

>friedman
>not a proponent of free market capitalism
ok

Is this a troll??
von Mises and Hayek are both Austrian Schoolers. They had nothing to do with the Chicago School and in fact opposed their theories.
That said von Mises is a God among men and Hayek is meh.

Actually he wasn't. I'm not sure what side the other user is on but I can tell you Friedman is in favor of upsetting the free market in lots of fundamental ways.
Namely monetarism and screwing around with money supply/interest rates. That's literally out of the utopian socialist handbook, and it constitutes an outright rejection of the pricing mechanism of capitalism.
Friedman's theories, in many ways, did cause the crash of 2008. His macro is, by his own admission, functionally no different from Keynes' and lead to the malinvestment and ultimately the crash.
If you want some real free market shit read von Mises and Rothbard. Especially their stuff on the Austrian Business Cycle.
