Let us say that a carpenter wishes to cut fifty boards for the purpose of laying the floor of a house. He has marked his boards. He has set his saw. He begins at one end of the mark on the board. But he does not know that his seven-year old son has tampered with the saw and changed its set. The result is that every board he saws is cut slantwise

I have spent my whole adult life in the shadow of one man, Karl Marx. By the age of 14, I recognized how important Marx was in history. I began to study some of his writings when I was a senior in high school. I continued to study him seriously in graduate school, and in 1968 my book on Marx was published. Karl Marx changed the world. Yet he did

“Do I see this as the end of freedom? No, I see it is the end of the fascist state.” I have lived through three monumental historical events. I remember only two of them. I do not remember the dropping of the two atomic bombs in August of 1945. As symbols of scientific world transformation, this constituted the most momentous event of the 20th

I have decided to fund a project: the production of a study guide for Henry Hazlitt’s book The Failure of the “New Economics.” This is the fiftieth anniversary of its publication.

Anyone who attempts to explain the mystery of banking — a deliberately contrived mystery in many ways — apart from all of

What is the longest-running socialist experiment? What has its success been? If someone asked you to defend the idea that socialism has failed, what would you offer as your example? Where did modern socialism begin? In America. That’s right: in the land of the free and the home of the braves. On Indian reservations. They were invented to control

In a previous article, “ Tax-Loving Conservatives ,” I wrote about an invisible line down the middle of your street. Jones lives on the other side. You live on your side. Jones makes you an offer to sell something 10 percent cheaper than Smith sells. Smith lives on your side of the street. Smith gets Brown and Green to impose a 25 percent sales

Recently, the leftist London Guardian posted an article against the 19th-century gold-coin standard. The author, who seems recently to have begun shaving, has provided a highly useful summary of the Keynesian case against the gold-coin standard. His article is a fine mixture of familiar old canards and creative new errors. His name is Duncan

I went to see style=”line-height: 1.66667;”>2016: Obama’s America . Dinesh D’Souza wrote, stars in, directed, narrates, and did the original research for it. If we look at this from the point of view of its success as a documentary, I think it is effective. It is making money in theaters. This is amazing for a documentary. It is a campaign-year
