Creators showcased important lessons from Sowell’s work: the reality of trade-offs, the consequences of unconstrained visions of politics, and the hidden harms of seemingly gentle-sounding ideas like socialism.
This video is a winning submission called “Stage One” by Sebastian Gutierrez, which highlights Sowell's insights on the unintended consequences of pursuing perfect outcomes in public policy. Amplifying Sowell’s call from Applied Economics to think “beyond stage one,” the winning entry offers Americans of all backgrounds and perspectives an enduring lesson in the reality of trade-offs.
