托马斯·索威尔 是美国作家、经济学家、政治评论员、社会理论家和胡佛研究所高级研究员。
索维尔出生在北卡罗来纳州加斯托尼亚的一个贫穷家庭。家人移居北方后,他在纽约哈莱姆区长大。由于经济困难和家庭条件恶化,他从史蒂文森高中辍学,在朝鲜战争期间服役于海军陆战队。回到美国后,索维尔在霍华德大学上夜校,之后进入哈佛大学,1958年以优异成绩毕业。次年他在哥伦比亚大学获得经济学硕士学位,并在芝加哥大学获得经济学博士学位1968 年。在他的学术生涯中,他曾在包括康奈尔大学、阿默斯特学院、加州大学洛杉矶分校和目前的斯坦福大学在内的多所大学任教。他还曾在城市研究所等智库工作。自 1977 年以来,他一直在斯坦福大学胡佛研究所工作,担任罗斯和米尔顿弗里德曼公共政策高级研究员。
索维尔通常被描述为一个保守主义者,尤其是在社会问题上;一个自由主义者,尤其是在经济学上,或自由主义者保守主义者。他说他可能最好贴上自由主义者的标签,尽管他在包括国防在内的一些问题上不同意自由主义者。索维尔是里根时代新保守主义运动的重要人物,影响了经济学家沃尔特·E·威廉姆斯和美国最高法院大法官克拉伦斯·托马斯。 1976 年,福特政府向索维尔提供了尼克松政府的总统职位和联邦贸易专员的职位,但都拒绝了这两个提议。同样,他被提议担任罗纳德·里根领导下的美国教育部部长,但拒绝担任该职位。 2002 年,他获得了乔治·W·布什总统颁发的国家人文奖章。Sowell 着有超过 45 本书,并且是 150 多家报纸的联合专栏作家。

书的描述

Intellectuals and Society pdf 托马斯·索威尔

The influence of intellectuals is not only greater than in previous eras but also takes a very different form from that envisioned by those like Machiavelli and others who have wanted to directly influence rulers. It has not been by shaping the opinions or directing the actions of the holders of power that modern intellectuals have most influenced the course of events, but by shaping public opinion in ways that affect the actions of power holders in democratic societies, whether or not those power holders accept the general vision or the particular policies favored by intellectuals. Even government leaders with disdain or contempt for intellectuals have had to bend to the climate of opinion shaped by those intellectuals.
Intellectuals and Society not only examines the track record of intellectuals in the things they have advocated but also analyzes the incentives and constraints under which their views and visions have emerged. One of the most surprising aspects of this study is how often intellectuals have been proved not only wrong, but grossly and disastrously wrong in their prescriptions for the ills of society—and how little their views have changed in response to empirical evidence of the disasters entailed by those views.
