The Green New Deal: Absurdity & Threat
15 Feb 2019
I believe there is a general tacit agreement as to what most people would like to see in the culture and society in which they live. This is in general true of all people across cultures and across time. We want to live in a world that is free from the ravages and devastation of […]

26 Feb 2018
This weekend I was able to listen to a Cato Institute podcast featuring Douglas A. Irwin’s new book Clashing over Commerce. The book highlights the politics undergirding the history of international trade protectionism in the United States. I found Irwin’s discussion with interviewer Caleb Brown to be helpful and to shed a little light on […]
