Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?
A Conflict of Visions, Thomas Sowell.
A good book regardless of what you think of Sowell’s politics.

Mine would be "Black Rednecks and White Liberals". Illuminating to say the least.

Why, when describimg conservatives, always a disclaimer? There's nothing wrong with Thomas Sowell or his ideas. He is an intellectual powerhouse.

I personally find Sowell's extemporaneous political commentary off-putting, much in the same way I find Paul Krugman's. If I were commenting on Paul Krugman's work I would make the same disclaimer.
