Show Notes

All of Thomas Sowell’s “considerable learning” is front and center in his 2007 book A Conflict of Visions: Ideological Origins of Political Struggles. Sowell, a Marxist-turned, unofficial 20th-century spokesman for capitalism, theorizes that humans are inclined to adopt one of two worldviews — the “constrained” or the “unconstrained” vision — explains Daniel J. Mahoney, a professor emeritus at Assumption University and a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute.
