In this episode, I discuss Thomas Sowell’s retirement and my three favorite books written by him: “Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy,” “The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy,”and “Ethnic America: A History.” He will certainly be missed as a sober voice fighting against the progressive agenda. I also discuss universal basic income (UBI) coming to Finland. A random sample of 2,000 Finnish citizens will receive 560 euros a month regardless of income, need, or any other factors. UBI has been touted for decades as an alternative to the bureaucratic welfare state, so it will be interesting to see how this two year trial fares. I believe UBI is ultimately more dangerous than the existing welfare state, so I disagree with the libertarians that support UBI on utilitarian grounds. Also, I discuss MTV’s recent “2017 Resolutions for White Guys” video.
