“Capitalism can’t stop people from being racist but it makes them pay a price for it.” And if you don’t believe that quote, listen to the entire video for the context behind it. Are you listening, Black Lives Matter allies and adherents? This is VERY MUCH worth your time!
Higgs sees government, as usual, vastly expanding during the crisis, and he’s sure that it will not shrink back to its former scale once the crisis is over. It never does, as he famously documented in his 1987 book, Crisis and Leviathan: Critical Episodes in the Growth of American Government, and in later works exploring this …
All I hear about in economic news is the unemployment rate and how high it is. Surprise! “Experts” discuss what will happen when we get back to normal. At least the experts admit we are not in normal times. Thank God for small admissions.

From modernity to the 1700s. From Prosperity to poverty. From Freedom to Government restricting you in every aspect of your lives. The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen. Giving thanks for a Government that makes a mockery of “The Land of the Free”? (H/T: Powerline)
Recently, Senator Jeanne Dietsch wrote an article about how she isn’t a libertarian (her voting record already let us know that). Her first thought is that libertarian is bad because it was responsible for slavery. I think we need to back up and explain to Senator Dietsch what a traditional libertarian might mean. Foremost, it …
