Leonard Peikoff (1933-Present)
Inducted 8/31/22
He was a major help in spreading the philosophy of Objectivism. He gave many lectures about philosophy in general and objectivism specifically. Two in particular stand out: History of Philosophy, and The Philosophy of Objectivism, as they together give a great understanding of the true value of Objectivism. Peikoff has also written several books including The DIM Hypothesis.
Thomas Sowell (1930-Present)
Inducted 8/31/22
Sowell has authored a lot of books spanning a wide range of topics. He has been an outspoken advocate for capitalism and personal responsibility since his first TV appearance on Milton Friedman's debate show. His writing and speaking styles are clear and to the point, even better than that what he says is both logical and thought provoking.
