Author here! I came across the original study referring to the "physicist" and the "English Professor" while reading Economic Facts and Fallacies by Thomas Sowell. It's an interesting read that addresses almost all of the hot political topics of today.
- throwawaysea 6y agoI’ve heard a lot about Sowell, particularly in terms of his ability to frame today’s current events in a prescient way, but haven’t read anything from him. Do you have a particular work from him that you’d recommend as an intro/starter?
- dgs_sgd 6y agoThe first book of his I read was Intellectuals and Race. Economic Facts and Fallacies is similar in terms of how the arguments are framed (though it touches on different subjects). I'm not sure if this is true of all his books but I would recommend looking through his complete works (there's a lot) and picking one on a topic you're particularly interested in :).
