First edition of the economist's classic autobiography. Octavo, original half cloth. Signed by Thomas Sowell on the front free endpaper on a bookplate. Fine in a fine dust jacket.
This is the gritty story of one man's lifelong education in the school of hard knocks, as his journey took him from Harlem to the Marines, the Ivy League, and a career as a controversial writer, teacher, and economist in government and private industry. It is also the story of the dramatically changing times in which this personal odyssey took place. "This account of Thomas Sowell's "odyssey" is an indispensable clue to the mystery of how he managed to become the extraordinary man he is and one of the few intellectuals of our time who deserves to be called heroic" (Norman Podhoretz).
