The Genius of Thomas Sowell

"Social Pathologies & Sowell" with Theodore Dalrymple


Listen Later

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.

Notes to help you get the most out of this episode:

• My four favorite Theodore Dalrymple books:
1.  "Life at the Bottom" (2001)
2. "Our Culture, What's Left of It" (2007)
3. "Admirable Evastions"  (2020)
4. "Spoilt Rotton"  (2011)
Theodore Dalrymple has published over 30 books and has a new book coming out soon.
