Interviewing Thomas Sowell About Economic Facts And Fallacies
Written By : John Hawkins

Thomas Sowell has just released Economic Facts and Fallacies: Second Edition . I read the first edition, thought it was outstanding, and would highly recommend it. I was also pleased to have the opportunity to interview Thomas Sowell about the Second Edition of the book. What follows is the slightly edited transcript of our conversation. Enjoy!

A lot of people say that income has stagnated for most Americans over the last 40 years. Talk about that a little bit; is that true?

No, it’s not true. It shows what you can do by playing games with statistics. It’s not true that income stagnated. People who argue that way almost invariably cite the household statistics or family income statistics when in fact the income per person, even in real terms eliminating inflation, has been rising very substantially over the years.

The problem is that households and families are getting smaller and smaller so that today if there is a family where, for example, there are two people working and in the past there were three people working, now the two people are making what the three people used to make. Then they say, “Well, you see, income has stagnated.”  No, income has gone up by 50 percent.

We also hear a lot about income inequality these days. There is a wide disparity between the rich in this country and everyone else and that’s presented as evidence the system is not fair, that it’s bad for the poor and the middle class, and that we need to tax the rich a lot more. True?

No. One of the sad things that happens is that people look at numbers and they translate the numbers into a concept that has no relationship to those numbers.

Being rich and being poor are thought of as classes of people who endure over time. In reality the great income inequality is between people of different ages. People in their 50′s make a lot more money than people in their 20′s. But that’s not a class because anyone who lives a normal lifetime is going to be in his 20′s at some point and in his 50′s at a later point. I see all this stuff about wealth even moreso than income and, yes, most people under the age of 15 don’t really have any wealth and there are millions of them, but that is not a class issue. That’s an age situation and most of the people who have no income and are under 15 are being supported by other people. So there are all kinds of numbers that are seized upon to be forced into some kind of a pattern, a pattern that bears no relationship to reality.

Now, poverty is commonly believed to be a root cause of crime and even terrorism. How much truth is there to that?

Close to zero. In fact, if you look at say, the 1950′s, people were a lot poorer in 1950 than they are today. The crime rate was a lot lower. The crime rate was lower even during The Great Depression than it was in some later times. So there is a correlation, but what little correlation there is has to be looked at in terms of the correlation is not causation. Many of the same characteristics that lead people to remain poor are also characteristics that promote crime by the same people. Even there, when you find a correlation, you have to find out which way the direction of causation goes. Most people who talk this way just automatically assume that people commit crimes because they’re poor.

Related question to what you just said there — If someone asked for a basic formula of what you need to do in life to avoid being poor, what would you tell him?

Finish high school and get married. The poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits ever since 1994. You would never learn that from most of the media. Similarly you look at those blacks that have gone on to college or finished college, the incarceration rate is some tiny fraction of what it is among those blacks who have dropped out of high school. So it’s not being black; it’s a way of life. Unfortunately, the way of life is being celebrated not only in rap music, but among the intelligentsia, is a way of life that leads to a lot of very big problems for most people.

For a lot of Americans, the debate about the budget and what it means for them personally down the road is very abstract. Could you talk about the real world consequences for the average American if the government continues to overspend?

Oh, there are a lot of consequences. The most obvious one is that you’re going to get taxed and unfortunately we’ve created a situation where a large number of the people are exempt from taxation and think none of this affects them. One of the biggest taxes is a hidden tax and I’m not referring just to sales taxes or things like that, but to inflation. They may not be taxed, but the company who produces their electricity will be taxed and their electric bills will go up. So technically it’s true they will not be taxed, but it’s playing with words when they end up having to pay money for electricity that is greater than what they would have had to pay had there been no tax put on the utility companies.

I left out inflation which is a huge tax on everybody. To give you some ideas of inflation; as of 1998, a $100 bill would not buy as much as a $20 bill would buy in the 1960′s. So every dollar that’s in your wallet or in your bank or wherever you keep your money is going to be worth less than it was before because the government is printing more dollar bills and spending it. So there are all kinds of ways in which they can transfer wealth from the public to the government without changing the tax rate.

Now many people blame the economic issues in Africa, India, Pakistan, the Middle East on colonization by Western nations and stinginess on the same part by those nations. In other words if the West were willing to pony up enough money at this point, the economic problems of those countries would be solved. How fair do you think that analysis is?

I think it’s remote from any reality and what reinforces that is that the people who say these kinds of things never back it up with any hard data. The hard data shows the opposite of what they’re saying. You can look at the case of those countries which finally opened up to the rest of the world and allowed foreign investors in and foreign businesses in, the two biggest examples in recent times, India and China. People by the millions have risen out of poverty in China and in India after they began to open up their markets to Western investments.

None of this is mysterious. When people come in to build phones or other devices in China, the people who set up those business in China make money, but the people in China also make money. The reason is because there is a net increase in the wealth produced by the country. I’m always amazed at how little interest people on the Left have in what does and does not increase the actual production of wealth. They are hypnotized by the notion of redistribution of wealth without any concern about how is the wealth produced in the first place. You can’t redistribute it until it’s produced and if your methods cause less to be produced, people are going to be poorer.

Last question. Glenn Reynolds over at Instapundit has talked a lot lately about the higher education bubble. In other words the prices for college at many universities have exploded, but the value of the education has actually dropped because students are taking more and more “fluff” courses and they aren’t getting the same quality of education. Do you think there is really a higher education bubble?

Well, I know there is a bubble, but the bubble suggests it’s transient. I’m afraid that the deterioration of American higher education is not transient; it’s been going on for some time and I see nothing on the horizon that makes me think it’s going to get better. We have the greatest universities in the world by all standards, but many of the leading professors who teach there are people from other countries. Certainly in the more difficult fields like mathematics, science and engineering; there among the graduate students, there are more foreigners than there are Americans in our universities because Americans cannot meet the same standards that the foreign students can.

Okay, Mr. Sowell, I appreciate your time.

Thank you.

    Very good points there.

    I wish statistics were really taught in highschools. So often I see reports that offer up a few numbers and then a conclusion but lack a lot of pertinent details on the way that anyone with some background in the subject would immediately notice and say “hey, you can’t make that conclusion with this data. . . . ”

    And the solution to our education system is so obvious it’s painful. Do away with the department of education. Set some minimum federal standards for education and require all states to provide an education to it’s citizens, but nothing more. Then introduce vouchers. We can have some old-style public schools to serve basically as day cares for those who cannot make it anywhere else but the kids who want to learn will have a chance to compete with each other to get in to progressively better voucher-funded schools.

    Let the individual schools negotiate with teachers for employment, so if they want to let the Unions run the show and crash their school they can, but they are not forced to.

    A first world nation with a third world education system is an anomaly that cannot last for long.

      Problem with this. Steve Levitt of Freakonomics proved that the only time the quality of the school makes a difference is in elementary school. Even that is limited, based on the socioeconomic status of your birth parents (adopted children reflect their birth parents in elementary school). After elementary, it is a combination of your birth parents, your legal guardians and your elementary school. The school you go to has little to no effect once you are out of elementary. There are exceptions to the rule, but those exceptions are few and far between.

    The problem is that households and families are getting smaller and smaller so that today if there is a family where, for example, there are two people working and in the past there were three people working, now the two people are making what the three people used to make. Then they say, “Well, you see, income has stagnated.” No, income has gone up by 50 percent.

    Is he seriously trying to argue that there are less people contributing to family income now than in the 60′s and 70′s? Sorry, most families didn’t have both parents working then.

    Using household income alone should be enough to compensate for wages lost, however the loss has been so high that the emergence of both parents working as a standard cannot offset the wage loss.

    Guess we know who is “playing games with statistic.”

      A man in his fifties earning $100,000 a year in real income (inflation being accounted for) in 1960, with a wife and three children dependent upon that income is living in a household with household income of $100,000 per year and per capita (per individual) income of $20,000 per year ($100,000 divided by the five inhabitants of the house.

      A man in his thirties earning $50,000 a year in real income, living with his wife, also earning $50,000 a year in real income in 2010, having only one child, live in a household with household income of $100,000 per year and per capita income of $33,333 per year.

      The houshold income has remained flat while per capita income has increased. It’s not the number of wage earners within a household that matters per se – it’s the number of individuals living in the house in relation to the real income being earned. Dr. Sowell is saying (correctly) that smaller households now earn as much as larger households did in the past.

        He’s referring to household income, which has stagnated, unless he tries to play an anecdotal trick and say that there were other family members that contributed income in the 50/60′s, even though the number of wives in the work force has more than doubled since that time.

          The question posed to Dr. Sowell concerned income. The question did not differentiate between per capita or household. Dr. Sowell was asked simply: “Are incomes stagnant?”

          In reply, he differentiated between household income and per capita income. This is because those that point out ‘incomes are stagnant’ use the household income data. When per capita income is regarded, incomes are no longer stagnant, but, in fact, have risen sharply over the past few decades.

          Per capita only and always means ‘one person.’ Households, on the other hand, can be made up of any number of people. So, naturally, we currently live in a society where smaller households relative to the 1950s and 1960s earn as much in real terms as larger households used to.

    The problem is that households and families are getting smaller and smaller so that today if there is a family where, for example, there are two people working and in the past there were three people working, now the two people are making what the three people used to make. Then they say, “Well, you see, income has stagnated.” No, income has gone up by 50 percent.

    Is he seriously trying to argue that there are less people contributing to family income now than in the 60′s and 70′s? Sorry, most families didn’t have both parents working then.

    Using household income alone should be enough to compensate for wages lost, however the loss has been so high that the emergence of both parents working as a standard cannot offset the wage loss.

    People in their 50?s make a lot more money than people in their 20?s. But that’s not a class because anyone who lives a normal lifetime is going to be in his 20?s at some point and in his 50?s at a later point.

    How about the baby boomer population retiring, such that their income is reduced, yet we still see a disparity in income? If his theory held, we should have seen the highest income disparity levels during the 90′s when the majority of baby boomers would have been at their peak income levels. However, we’re now seeing the income disparity at a time when many are reaching retirement age.

    Both periods of high income inequality correlate with low taxation rates on the high income earners, not with high populations of people in their 50′s.

          You do realize that that your own words screw you in your post. You see because not all boomers have actually retired and are still making those ever higher wages that’s why there’s so much disparity. Or did you think of that? I mean most of the boomers still working. Very few have retired yet. So that means their at the top of their potential, STILL.

      Well, one thing Mr. Sowell didn’t seem to mention: the Baby Boomer generation is used to the Middle Class. The Middle Class wasn’t around for that long before the Baby Boomers came. One major consequence of the creation of the middle class was that the incentive to become heavily productive in the world went the way of the dodo for most folks, because they were now able to afford the necessities that people always became rich to have. The rich before then also didn’t depend on Uncle Sam for their retirement, as the middle class sadly did; and in fact, due to accepting the premises of Uncle Sam paying them for getting old, they were willing to accept any other terms of Uncle Sam as well. That…didn’t work out so well, as it never does.

The rich before then also didn’t depend on Uncle Sam for their retirement, as the middle class sadly did; and in fact, due to accepting the premises of Uncle Sam paying them for getting old, they were willing to accept any other terms of Uncle Sam as well. That…didn’t work out so well, as it never does.

      Baby Boomers. 1946-60 (or 64). First one would turn 50 years and one minute in 1996. And that’s the first one. So where is this “90′s” of yours coming from, to be meaningful? The income disparity should show up in the 00′s, not the 90′s. And it did, mildly.

      I think you gave good evidence for your opponents’ points, Dan.

    People in their 50?s make a lot more money than people in their 20?s. But that’s not a class because anyone who lives a normal lifetime is going to be in his 20?s at some point and in his 50?s at a later point.

    How about the baby boomer population retiring, such that their income is reduced, yet we still see a disparity in income? If his theory held, we should have seen the highest income disparity levels during the 90′s when the majority of baby boomers would have been at their peak income levels. However, we’re now seeing the income disparity at a time when many are reaching retirement age.

    Both periods of high income inequality correlate with low taxation rates on the high income earners, not with high populations of people in their 50′s.

    So we learn from this second rate political economist that the vast growth of wealth and income inequality is due to age, is that right?

    Well, let’s see, In prior post 1929 eras, people did not really differ in age, but that phenomenon occurred only later, after the Reagan administration and it continued into the Bush administration. Aging is only a recent happening, and it was only then that it was possible to get to the bottom of this great wealth discrepancy.

    Sowell is not an intellectual most people pay attention to, even though he has become the darling of the right.

      So let’s see slowjoe, what was the average life expectancy in 1929?

      Sowell runs circles around the likes of Krugman, you disparage because he’s right.

      Unless you or Dippy care to actually prove him wrong?

      … as if income inequality should concern anyone. You’re never going to have income equality until you have production equality. And you’re never going to have production equality until you have talent, ability, motive, and resource equality. And you’re never going to have those because your not a wizard.

      Seeking income equality is a childish enterprise nonetheless embraced by “intellectuals” who shame the term. Perhaps you can explain why income inequality a problem?

    Certainly in the more difficult fields like mathematics, science and engineering; there among the graduate students, there are more foreigners than there are Americans in our universities because Americans cannot meet the same standards that the foreign students can.

    It has nothing to do with standards and everything to do with opportunity. America students look at PhDs and ask themselves whether they want to be an Academic or do research (and generally I’m repeating myself). If not then they don’t bother to pursue anything past a Masters and therefore don’t become college professors.

    If you intend to work in government or industry, it makes no sense to get a Ph.D. for most people. Especially when you can get your employer to pay for Masters in many cases.

    Perhaps it’s a result of the way the interview was summarized here, but Prof. Sowell seems to be skirting the edges of the same morass of fuzzy thinking that well-meaning liberals have been splashing around in for 30 or 40 years when he says that African-Americans should marry in order to escape poverty. “Home ownership is a hallmark of the middle class… so if we make it easy for the poor to own a home, they’ll escape poverty and become middle class.” Although he does backpedal at the end of that bit about marriage and correctly indicate that the problem is a cultural (“way of life”) issue.

    It is important to note that the arrow of causation runs the other way, however: it is those urban poor who have been brought up with values and a way of life which still celebrate marriage and family who are much more likely to escape poverty. Marriage – and home ownership – are not “magic bullets” which will cause someone to escape poverty; they are instead markers of the kinds of traits and habits which enable one to accumulate wealth and thus be middle class… responsibility, ability to plan ahead, delay gratification, and work with other people to achieve difficult goals.
