The Thomas Sowell
Framework
Economic History & Unsentimental Analysis
Thomas Sowell advanced human understanding by treating curiosity as a daily discipline. Thomas Sowell's method of inquiry — captured in this framework as mental models, decision heuristics, and the signature questions they would ask. The economic history & unsentimental analysis framework distils Thomas Sowell's documented approach into a .md skill file you can load into Claude, ChatGPT, or any LLM in seconds. Where most AI personas generate generic output, this framework is grounded in real documented work: interviews, writing, published frameworks, and the specific decisions Thomas Sowell made when it mattered. Use it for decision-making, writing, strategy, or any situation where you want your AI to think with Thomas Sowell's distinctive patterns rather than a default model voice.
