Change May be Coming to the National Labor Relations Board

Billionaire Phil Ruffin has been quoted as saying, “I like to negotiate.” President-elect Trump reminds us often of what a great negotiator he is.

Except not right now, and not with the Culinary Workers Union, Local 226.

Last December, more than half the 500 eligible workers at the Trump International Hotel Las Vegas voted to join the Union. However, Ruffin and his 50 percent partner, President-elect Donald Trump, allegedly refused to recognize, or bargain with, the Union which dominates employment on the Las Vegas Strip with an estimated 57,000 members.

Chapter 21 Appreciations

Economic Freedom and Interventionism1

Man, Economy, and State

Most of what goes today under the label of the social sciences is poorly disguised apologetics for the policies of governments.

Chapter 20 Economic Method

Money, Method, and The Market Process1

“Social Science and Natural Science”

Europe’s War on Tobacco

Governments worldwide crack down on the consumption of tobacco. We know that smoking is bad for one’s health, but governments manage to create a new set of health risks through their interventions. The War on Tobacco is amongst the most misguided doctrines in behavioral policy, and yet politicians continue to enforce it. The side effects on private industry as well as personal health have long been ignored by advocates for smoking-freedom. Nevertheless, these side effects exist. 

Chapter 19 The Importance of Liberty

Liberty and Property1

I

At the end of the eighteenth century there prevailed two notions of liberty, each of them very different from what we have in mind today referring to liberty and freedom.
