John Stossel: Make Trade, Not War
Cooperation can achieve what force cannot. What's up with so many Democrats wanting missile strikes on Syria, while Republicans balk? I'm told Republicans are the war party. Is this just hypocrisy? Politicians change their position on military intervention when their own party controls the White House? Historian Thaddeus Russell says ... MOREWhy Whiskey Was Money And Bitcoins Might Be
by Brian Lasorsa. Currency is a crossroads for many free market advocates. Monetarists, including Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, have long argued in favor of central banks stabilizing price levels. They say the institution would provide a sense of comfort to debtors and creditors wary of inflation. Constitutionalists, albeit embracing a general ... MORERonald Bailey: Seven Surprising Truths About The World
A lot of the bad news you think you know is wrong. Did you know that the incidence of cancer in the United States has been declining for nearly 20 years? That the spread of pornography correlates with a decline in rape? That average IQs are going up substantially all around the world? These are just some of the truths that are well-known ... MOREWalter E Williams: Unnecessary Tragedy
Freedom is the solution. Last week a federal judge ordered Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to allow 10-year-old Sarah Murnaghan, who suffers from cystic fibrosis, to be moved to the adult lung transplant list. That gives her a better chance of receiving a potentially lifesaving transplant. Sarah Murnaghan's fate should ... MOREJohn Stossel: Charity Begins With Wealth Creation
Wealth must be created before it is given. Charity -- helping people who have trouble helping themselves -- is a good thing two times over. It's good for the beneficiary and good for the donor, too. Stephen Post's fine book, "The Hidden Gifts of Helping," reveals that 76 percent of Americans say that helping others is what makes them most happy. Giving money ... MOREMatthew Yglesias: Why Price Gouging Is Necessary
Getting supply to where it is needed most. Some more words on price gouging, as New York and New Jersey are increasingly afflicted by gasoline shortages. There are three issues we need to look at here. One is allocation, one is short-term supply, and one is long-term supply. A lot of people seem to want to look at this purely as an allocative ... MORESupreme Court To Determine Legality Of Reselling
Testing the boundaries of copyright laws. All eyes will be on Justice Elena Kagan on Monday, when the Supreme Court considers a copyright case that some fear could prevent people from reselling certain products they own such as the iPhone, as she may have the deciding vote. In a case that tests the boundaries of copyright law, ... MOREGlenn Greenwald: The Illusion Of Choice
The issue is how much they agree. Wednesday night's debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney underscored a core truth about America's presidential election season: the vast majority of the most consequential policy questions are completely excluded from the process. This fact is squarely at odds with a primary claim made about ... MOREMoorad Choudhry: In Defense Of The Free Market
The freedom to choose. I don’t imagine that too many of you would have heard of Easterhouse, a
Manchester band from the 1980s that recorded some electrifying songs
with a strong political content on the (also Manchester-based) Rough
Trade label. They were never on Top of the Pops or MTV. I saw them live a
couple of times, let's put it ... MOREWashington Times: Obama's Internet Tax
FCC should not impose multibillion-dollar tax the web. The government doesn’t handle technology well. When Uncle Sam comes into contact with something new, his first instinct is to impose familiar regulations and taxes regardless of whether doing so makes any sense. So it’s no surprise the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ... MORE
