No brainer.

Surprised he didn’t get one already from W. Maybe he didn’t retire until after he left.

He'd have had a Nobel by now if he'd had the opposite politics. Glad he's still alive to get this, if it happens.

Whenever I come across a left-leaning econ dissertation on Sowell, I listen with some interest, to see how they manage to discard his ideas. They generally accuse him of relying too little on actual data.

And both of us know the mercurial nature of data.
