He wrote a trilogy of books about the history of mankind - everything that got us to where we are now (at least the 1990's when this book was published). They read a bit like a textbook, but he tells the history in a way that makes it a page turner. Migrations and Cultures shows how and why cultures developed in different parts of the world and how and why some cultures spread while others stayed contained in one area. He gets into geography, language, interactions between cultures, the rise of nations ... I read it as an adventure story because he does such a good job of making the "journey" so interesting.
That sounds awesome. I've read snatches of Sowell but he's so prolific it's hard to know what a good strategy of approach would be. That trilogy sounds pretty badass.
The first book was Race and Culture. Migration and Cultures was second. Conquests and Cultures was third. Thomas Sowell was quite prolific. He has plenty of other books that are so well written that it is hard to understand why others do not mimic his style. Walter Williams did a top notch job writing about similar subjects. Note - Sowell is still alive but is retired. I see him on youtube frequently, but I do not know if he is presenting anything new.
I can't believe that. That was a must read book for so many years... Then continue with this one and you will understand the world we are living it: Propaganda - by Ed Bernays
"Speech" from M. K. Ataturk. Story of building a new nation from its ashes. 29th of October is 100th anniversary of the Turkish republic. You will see a metamorphosis in this book.
Kevin Hart - Monsters and How to Tame Them. Jam packed with deep & hilarious "nuggets" of wisdom. Simultaneously. Most people don't take comedians seriously but there is a lot to learn from Kevin. I'm grateful he shared his wisdom & life experience with us. https://www.amazon.com/Audible-Monsters-How-Tame-Them/dp/B09M1WPSQ1
I heard "the culture series" mentioned enough times to finally try it. 1/2 way through second and just ordered the third. Seems like something that gets better the more you get into it
Migrations and Cultures by Thomas Sowell

The Market for Liberty.
Love to see it
The Fragile thread of Power - V.E SchWab
Broken Money by Lyn. I'm weird where I juggle a few different books at the same time, so I'm also reading A Conflict of Visions by Thomas Sowell.
Trying to get a better grasp on why people see the world so differently rather than hyperfixate on the what and how.
