What is a "fair opinion"?
Could a thinking, reasonable person actually believe that the essay in question is a POS.

Perhaps you're using a colloquial interpretation.

I do not know what you mean about Sowell being "all about the money" What would you expect from an economist? The man has come from dirt poor. And I believe that Thomas Sowell, truly believes in capitalism and it's ability to bring upward mobility to those inclined to participate. In his youth he was a Marxist, and saw the problems inherent in that ideology. He had the ability to reassess his position, and now that he has seen the light, and has a stump, he uses it to bring forward the concepts that he truly believes in.

Respectfully.
