Richard M. Ebeling: War, Big Government & Lost Freedom
Roots of the regulating and redistributing state. We are currently marking the hundredth anniversary of the fighting of the First World War. For four years between the summer of 1914 and November 11, 1918, the major world powers were in mortal combat with each other. The conflict radically changed the world. It overthrew the pre-1914 ... MOREEconomic Liberty Vs. Big Government Illusions
by John Hayward. Economic freedom is the practical expression of liberty – if we’re not free to sell our goods and labor, spending and investing the proceeds as we see fit, we’re not truly “free” to do anything except complain about how the government treats us. And if we don’t have access to valid information about the government, and ... MORECharles Seeburger: 10 Facts About The Economics Of Weed
From black market to free market. From the legal markets thriving in states like Colorado and Washington, to the underground trade that generates billions of Mexican cartels, the economics of weed are crazy. Ganja. Smoke. Dro. Chronic. Spliffage. The names are as varied as the opinions about it: from rather innocuous plant, to cure all, to ... MOREBenjamin A. Rogge: The Case for Economic Freedom
The free market is about self-determination. I shall identify my brand of economics as that of economic freedom, and I shall define economic freedom as that set of economic arrangements that would exist in a society in which the government’s only function would be to prevent one man from using force or fraud against another — including ... MOREThe National Security Case For Free-Market Energy
by James Carafano. The House has passed legislation calling for liberalizing energy exports.
Two Senate committees have approved similar bills. Whether the
legislation becomes law this year remains unknown. But even if the bill
doesn’t make it, pressure on Washington will continue to build. At the height of the “energy crisis” in the 1970s, ... MOREThe Free Market: It’s Like Uber, But For Everything
by Robert Tracinski. If it sometimes seems like it’s impossible to restore the free market, as if every new wave of government regulation is irreversible, then consider that one form of regulation, which is common in the most dogmatically big-government enclaves in the country, is being pretty much completely dismantled before our eyes. And it’s the ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: Is The Pope A False Prophet?
Holy man doesn't get the free market. Congressman Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has invited me to the House of Representatives to watch Pope Francis address a joint session of Congress. This generous Methodist congressman has invited your traditionalist Roman Catholic columnist and cable TV guy to this grand event. I am going with joy because ... MORECapitalism And Morality: Walter Williams Vs. Pope Francis
by Daniel J. Mitchell. The Pope is divinely ignorant on economics. The biggest mistake of well-meaning leftists is that they place too much value on good intentions and don’t seem to care nearly as much about good results. Pope Francis is an example of this unfortunate tendency. His concern for the poor presumably is genuine, but he puts ideology ... MORESorry Leftists, Your Swedish Utopia Does Not Exist
by Benjamin Katzeff Silberstein. As a Swede living in the U.S., one of the most common reactions when I tell people where I am from is the question of why I would ever leave Sweden in the first place. Many Americans seem to truly believe that life in the Scandinavian
countries is superior to that in virtually all other places on earth,
and that ... MOREHow Much Is A College Football Player Worth?
by Alexis Garcia. Hint: More than the NCAA wants to admit. College football has returned to the airwaves and with it the debate over paying student-athletes. Though the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) brought in nearly $1 billion dollars in revenue last year, the organization continues to resist compensating student-athletes ... MORE
