Embrace The Morality Of The Free Market Economy
by Matthew Boyer. The free market is the moral option when it comes to economic systems. This is something you don’t hear everyday, especially in progressive academia. But what is it about the free market that makes it superior to other potential economic models? Are capitalists truly greedy pigs, or are they self-interested humans who ... MOREJohn Stossel - Good Intentions, Incentives And Poverty
The great conceit of central planners. Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared "War on Poverty." It sounded great to me. I was taught at Princeton, "We're a rich country. All we have to do is tax the rich, and then use that money to create programs that will lift the poor out of poverty." Government created job-training programs for ...

Relentless culture warriors. I have a slightly different take on California’s recent decision to regulate college sex. Don’t get me wrong: I think it’s beyond idiotic, unworkable, even borderline Orwellian. We’ll get to all that. But I also think it’s incredibly useful. You see, for years I’ve been railing and ranting about the ridiculous myth that liberalism ... MORE'Acting White' Remains a Barrier for Black Education

by Travis Gettys. An Indiana woman says a state trooper pulled her over this summer and asked if she had accepted Jesus Christ as her personal lord and savior.

MOREChristopher Chantrill: Trust In Government Is Pathological
Need we run down the evidence? This last weekend the Sunday shows had a “trust in government” theme.

On Fox News Sunday Chris Wallace threw a ... MOREHow Prohibition Drives People Toward Riskier Drugs
by Jacob Sullum. Rise of the mystery high. Last week NBC News broadcast

available at convenience stores"; that it "has sent almost two
dozen young people to ... MOREThomas Sowell: Ebola And Obama
The safety of Americans comes in second. The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is both a danger in itself and a wake-up call for Americans -- about President Obama, about the institutions of this country and, most important, about ourselves. There was a time when an outbreak of a deadly disease overseas would bring virtually unanimous ... MOREMississippi Can Demand Bloodletting At DUI Checkpoints
