The Great Gareth Porter on the Woodrow Wilson Flu Epidemic of 1918
by Scott Horton | Apr 3, 2020 | Blog
He's not just the father of American Fascism, German Nazism, Soviet Communism, Chinese Communism, World War II, the American empire and the Bush family fortune. Wilson was also responsible for the great "Spanish" flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919. I sure hope there's such...

TGIF: The Nonintervention Principle
by Sheldon Richman | Feb 21, 2020 | Foreign Policy, Sheldon Richman, TGIF
Anyone old enough to think about "America's" role in the world ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. For example, one ought to be able to argue firmly against U.S. intervention in other countries without feeling obliged to downplay or deny the real...

TGIF: New York Times Acknowledges US Global Empire
by Sheldon Richman | Oct 27, 2017 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Sheldon Richman, TGIF
One big advantage the war party has is the public's ignorance about the activities of the far-flung American empire. Although frustrating, that ignorance is easy to understand and has been explained countless times by writers in the public choice tradition. Most...
TGIF: Dying for the Empire Is Not Heroic
by Sheldon Richman | Oct 20, 2017 | Featured Articles, Foreign Policy, Sheldon Richman, TGIF
Predictably, the news media spent most of the week examining words Donald Trump may or may not have spoken to the widow of an American soldier killed in Niger, in northwest Africa, in early October. Not only was this coverage tedious, it was largely pointless. We know...

https://youtu.be/ZwWHjYVY4tg In the private sector, firms must attract voluntary customers or they fail; and if they fail, investors lose their money, and managers and employees lose their jobs. The possibility of failure, therefore, is a powerful incentive to find...
The Myth of “Hyper-Rugged-Isolationist-Individualism”
Myth #1: Libertarians believe that each individual is an isolated, hermetically sealed atom, acting in a vacuum without influencing each other. This is a common charge, but a highly puzzling one. In a lifetime of reading libertarian and classical-liberal...
The Lesson From Germany and Korea
Institutions are, of course, in some sense the products of culture. But, because they formalize a set of norms, institutions are often the things that keep a culture honest, determining how far it is conducive to good behaviour rather than bad. To illustrate the...
Occupational Licensing Increases Prices and Deprives People of Options
