Don’t worry about it peasant.
Yes, because he isn’t telling the whole story.
Simply making that statement without any context is laughable.
How gullible. You need to read Anand Giridharadas’s book Winner Takes All How the billionaire class use their wealth and influence to preserve systems that concentrate wealth at the top at the expense of societal progress
Another non-argument. Just a quip with no real meaning behind it.
In case you missed that, I am implying you either have a) a lack of understanding of the real world and/or b) a poor education.
By the way, since you put so much stock in credentials - what is your educational background/

I have. I hated the repetition of points the book has. But yes valid points
Also the biasness of the author is apparent by him not even acknowledging that the billionaire class only got into that class by making money as a result of helping societal progress more than any broke person can.
Last comment on the book is, it’s not the most authoritative source to say the least.
Not gullible whatsoever. I jus recognize that regardless of the purpose or reason of a billionaire helping a cause, they do in fact give more money than the people criticizing them.
So what the company spent 1 Million to help staving kids with the purpose of boosting their reputation, getting free promotion and making a bigger profit in the future… .They still spent that money to help starving kids. (example)

@castoli calling Thomas Sowell a light-weight intellectual is the best thing I will read all week.

It’s all relative. He may not seem like an intellectual lightweight to you, but you’re not @castoli /zep. If you had been blessed with the intellectual capacity of @castoli /zep, you would likely feel similarly. And you would trade currencies(at least, your online persona would).
And also never speak of your academic credentials.
I haven’t even mentioned the fact that I have 2 undergraduate degrees, a JD, and a MBA from Wharton.
But, those are all irrelevant to him anyways because I’m brainwashed and only taught the propaganda.

Anyone successful in the real world is gullible to him and he can’t see the irony there which is comedic gold.

Who has he debated, who is noteworthy?
From the person who believes because he has a successful business that the success of his business translates to everything else. He follows the herd. Bauber=lemming
Because it happens so often.
Are you sure?
You forgot that they keep the system going so they can stay in control of the very system that helped to cause the starving. Did you really read the book?
Again who of note, has this guy debated?
What?
Who do you think would be worthy to debate him? Why do you think debating is so important? Read his books. His genius is there. Why waste his time trying to argue with a moron like you?
