This episode features my conversation with Jason Riley, author of THE definitive Thomas Sowell biography published in 2021:
"Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell"
I give a broadstroke overview of the 9 chapters of Maverick, then talk about the book - and Thomas Sowell in general - with Jason Riley himself.
He and I also talk about Sowell's new book "Social Justice Fallacies" which is coming out on September 19, 2023.
Jason Riley is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing OpEd columnist at the Wall Street Journal.
He has published 4 other books besides Maverick:
• Let Them In: The Case for Open Borders (2008)
• Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed (2014)
• False Black Power? (2017)
• The Black Boom (2022)
