托马斯·索维尔(Thomas Sowell)1930年6月30日出生,美国著名经济学家、社会理论家,斯坦福大学“罗斯与米尔顿·弗雷德曼”学会高级研究员,斯坦福大学胡佛研究所驻校学者。

托马斯·索维尔不仅是一位优秀的经济学家,更是一个勇敢无畏的黑人知识分子。他不但从经济学的角度分析种族问题,而且作为一个黑人,对黑人群体中的特权思想和政治正确极力反对,所以他在白人中不受待见,在黑人中也被孤立。

索维尔看到了这个时代的弊病,看到了无数不负责任的政客和知识分子的谎言。他曾说过,“正如过去许多人警告过的那样,自由不可能一下子公开地消失。它更有可能被金光闪闪的承诺和高尚的理念一点一滴地侵蚀。”

分享托马斯·索维尔批判左翼知识分子的20条经典语录:

1、“知识分子的思想不需要对结果负责。”

“Intellectuals are not responsible for the consequences of their ideas.”

2、“他们的自信来自于理论的优越感,而不是实践的检验。”

“Their confidence comes not from tested knowledge, but from presumed superiority of ideas.”

3、“没有什么比一个不必承担后果的头脑更危险的了。”

“There is nothing more dangerous than a head full of ideas unburdened by consequences.”

4、“他们痛恨市场,因为市场不听他们的指挥。”

“They hate the market because it does not obey them.”

5、“知识分子的真正诱惑,是可以不干实事却左右世界。”

“The real lure of being an intellectual is to influence the world without dirtying your hands.”

6、“历史上最大灾难,往往是由聪明人设计出来的系统性错误。”

“Some of the greatest disasters in history were caused by intelligent people designing flawed systems.”

7、“知识分子的悲剧,是他们往往善于构建幻觉,而非解决问题。”

“The tragedy of intellectuals is that they are better at constructing illusions than solving problems.”

8、“自由市场能纠正错误,知识分子的计划却经常放大错误。”

“The free market tends to correct errors; intellectual planning often magnifies them.”

9、“最爱谈公平的人,往往最无公平可言。”

“Those who talk most about fairness are often the least fair in practice.”

10、“他们并不懂普通人的生活,却自以为能设计普通人的命运。”

“They know little about ordinary lives, yet presume to design the destiny of ordinary people.”

11、“知识分子不是看不起商人,而是嫉妒商人。”

“Intellectuals don’t look down on businessmen—they envy them.”

12、“当知识分子与政府结合,就成了暴政最危险的引擎。”

“When intellectuals join forces with the state, they become the most dangerous engines of tyranny.”

13、“他们热衷于口号,而不是机制。”

“They favor slogans over systems, intentions over incentives.”

14“知识分子常常低估人类社会的复杂性,高估自己能驾驭系统的能力。”

“Intellectuals often underestimate the complexity of society and overestimate their ability to control it.”

15、“他们总想用纸面计划取代千百万人在现实中演化出的制度。”

“They try to substitute paper plans for the evolved institutions of millions over centuries.”

16、“在他们眼中,失败从不是理论的错,而是执行者的问题。”

“To them, failure is never in the theory, but always in the implementation.”

17、“他们对权力的渴望,常常披着道德的外衣。”

“Their lust for power is often cloaked in the robes of morality.”

18、“他们会说:‘这不是我们要的社会主义’,但他们从未放弃要推销的那一套。”

“They say: ‘That’s not real socialism’—but they never stop trying to sell the same product.”

19、“他们信仰的不是现实,而是抽象正义。”

“They worship not reality, but abstract justice.”

20、“知识分子天然左倾,因为那让他们显得高尚。”

“Intellectuals are naturally inclined to the left because it makes them appear virtuous.”
