At this point, it seems the term “MAGA” is fully synonymous with “Trump supporter.” All critics of Trump have apparently already left the MAGA camp. 

The Faculty of Political Economy of Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in  Madrid, in cooperation with the Master Programme in Economics of  the Austrian School, is holding its tenth annual conference on  Austrian Economics. The aim of the conference is to bring together  scholars from around the world who are conducting research within  this intellectual tradition.  

As is becoming clearer from President Trump’s own statements and those of his staff, along with press reporting, the US has launched a major war without the input of the experts we pay to advise the President on such matters.

“Freedom to roam” is marketed as a wholesome civic ideal: fresh air, exercise, social inclusion, a nation’s natural beauty shared by all.

Class conflict, as Marxists preach it, must be taught. Workers do not spontaneously see themselves as historical agents of class war. Would workers automatically rise up merely because monopolies exist? No.
