Richard I.: Book's strengths for me: 1. A tremendous pleasure to read such that often I couldn't put it down (and read it in just 3 days; 2.clear and easy to understand; 3. Examines the common justifications for cultural-political-economic policies and beliefs against the easy to understand facts (eg, before and after historical facts across communities and nations, the plain clear statistical facts before and after various policy implementations based on erroneous justifications). incredibly eye-opening and a real indictment of the economics classes I took as an undergraduate at an ivy league university

Ilias Stamatis: I think this book is definitely worth a read, even if one doesn't agree 100% with everything that is in there.

Alexander: I've been a marxist most of my life. Since 2015 or so, I started my transformation into more of a centrist as I kept learning more facts about reality leftism started making less sense. However, in 2020 I was introduced to Thomas Sowell and I became intrigued. Since I have already been lied to by leftists essentially my whole life, I didn't trust anything anyone told me and I started fact checking everything from him and for all the stuff I've been able to fact checked, it's turned out to be completely accurate. I'm impressed with how humble and thorough this man is. I am now a rightist, because as some people have said, the facts of life are right-wing and the more I learn, the more I realise this to be true. It was also relatable to know that Sowell also fell for the lies of Marxism/leftism for a big chunk of his life.
Basic Economics is the first book of Sowell's I read and the more books from Sowell I read the more I feel like I can see the code in the Matrix and really know how the world works.

Sandra Cecilia García Farías: Este libro me convenció a iniciar a estudiar la carrera universitaria de economía, ha sido uno de los más influyentes en mi vida. La manera en la que el Dr. Sowell resume temas complejos, explicando la manera en la que distintos factores influyen en la economía hace que este libro sea bueno para casi cualquiera, sin importar tu conocimiento previo acerca de la economía.
