The Writers Strike and Jay Leno’s Monologue

The Writers Strike and Jay Leno’s Monologue

The Writers Guild apparently says it’s OK for Jay Leno to do his monologue, but if writes his monologue then he has crossed the picket line. As I explain in this PRI blog post, such a position quickly leads to absurdity. The union advocates would have you believe that they are merely withholding their own labor to show how important their contribution is, but everyone knows that their tactics go beyond that.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
