Thomas
Sowell was born in North Carolina and grew up in Harlem. As with many
others in his neighborhood, he left home early and did not finish high
school. The next few years were difficult ones, but eventually he joined
the Marine Corps and became a photographer in the Korean War. After
leaving the service, Sowell entered Harvard University, worked a
part-time job as a photographer and studied the science that would
become his passion and profession: economics.
After graduating magna cum laude from Harvard University (1958), he went
on to receive his master's in economics from Columbia University (1959)
and a doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago (1968).
In the early '60s, Sowell held jobs as an economist with the Department
of Labor and AT&T. But his real interest was in teaching and
scholarship. In 1965, at Cornell University, he began the first of many
professorships. His other teaching assignments include Rutgers
University, Amherst University, Brandeis University and the University
of California at Los Angeles, where he taught in the early '70s and also
from 1984 to 1989.
Sowell has published a large volume of writing. His dozen books, as well
as numerous articles and essays, cover a wide range of topics, from
classic economic theory to judicial activism, from civil rights to
choosing the right college. Moreover, much of his writing is considered
ground-breaking -- work that will outlive the great majority of
scholarship done today.

Dennis has written four books, the best-selling Happiness Is A Serious Problem (1998, Harper Collins; Think a Second Time (1996, Harper Collins) described by Bill Bennett as "one of those rare books that can change an intelligent mind;" Why the Jews? The Reason for Anti-Semitism (reissued in 2003 by Touchstone), and The Nine Questions People Ask about Judaism (1986, Touchstone), still most used introduction to Judaism in the world. The latter two books were co-authored with Joseph Telushkin.
