 Thomas Sowell. That's who the quote is from. Good one too.

 Oh! Yes, he's great! I will need to find time to read some of his work. I fear I have said this about 30 people already.

 Which book is recommended? I can't promise I will get around to it for a few years 😅

 I actually started with "Late Talking Children", which was a godsend.

I didn't know he was an economist, until after reading that and looking for more books. 😂

 I'll be sure to add it to my server! 
I know of him due to his connections to the monetarist Chicago school of econ, working with Milton Friedman and the like, but I never read their books.

 His basic economics book is the go to for anyone that doesn't understand econ.
