Bringing You A Different Perspective – Peace And Prosperity Are Maximized Through Free Markets, Not Through Suffocating Governments
September 13, 2019 – Llewellyn H. Rockwell Jr. …… There is nothing the state can do, and which society needs done, that cannot be done far better by the market. Another point that is just as telling: no state empowered to do what is supposedly necessary will restrain itself to those things.
September 12, 2019 – Lee Friday …… A truly effective criminal justice system would be built on restitution, not imprisonment and punishment. Moreover, government-funded prisons have no incentive to rehabilitate prisoners since they receive funding regardless of outcomes.
September 10, 2019 – Bradley Thomas …… Sanders’s and other progressives’ blustering about “morality” is really a smokescreen designed to distract from their vision of a society organized around the threat of government aggression against innocents who simply want to mind their own business.
September 8, 2019 – Jen Sidorova …… Candidates are competing to see who can punish taxpayers the most with a student loan forgiveness plan.
September 5, 2019 – Jim Fedako …… A central benefit of the marketplace is the ability to choose the products and services that the “experts” tell us are not “the best.”
September 4, 2019 – Ryan McMaken …… In 1986, eight governors threatened to veto deployments of state troops to Central America. Washington generals and politicians responded by further destroying state independence and the Second Amendment’s militia clause.
September 3, 2019 – Chris Calton …… While repealing laws and police reforms are important in alleviating mass incarceration, the problem is likely to continue as long as prosecutors are permitted to operate with so few constraints.
September 2, 2019 – Lee Friday …… When he blames the free market for an unstable housing market, BMO CEO Darryl White is simply attempting to deflect attention away from the activities of the banks.
August 30, 2019 – Robert Murphy …… The whole episode shows the folly of top-down political solutions to social challenges.
August 28, 2019 – Lawrence Reed …… Only men petitioned Parliament before 1825. The custom was broken in that year when 2,000 members of Townsend’s Female Society for Birmingham signed a petition demanding that the House of Commons enact an emancipation bill. It was the first snowball in an avalanche. Hundreds of thousands of women signed similar petitions until the Abolition Act was finally passed in 1833.
