Sowell has never claimed to be the arbitrary of truth. He provides empirical evidence in his books.
I am not a Hoppean, Rothbardian, Misean, Sowellian, Friedmanian, etc... I am a libertarian.
While I hold each of these economists in high regard and they have each influenced my perspectives, I don't take everything they say as 100% gospel. I am not strictly bound to the teachings of one political theorist or economist. No single human has a monopoly on truth.
A bullshit job or pseudowork[1] is meaningless or unnecessary wage labour which the worker is obliged to pretend to have a purpose.[2] Polling in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands indicates that around 40% of workers consider their job to fit this description.[3]
The concept was coined by anthropologist David Graeber in a 2013 essay in Strike Magazine, On the Phenomenon of Bullshit Jobs, and elaborated upon in his 2018 book Bullshit Jobs.[3]
For a real economist try Robert ( Bob ) Black

I read some Hayek but found she didn't really have much to say.
Overrated, sad!
