How free is America, really, today? What is the direction toward which we seem to be continuing to head?

Those who value the free and prosperous society must continue to articulate the case for the limited government, free market system, even if it seems sometimes that few are listening.

The laissez-faire variation on the liberal theme never really had a chance, because except for a small handful like Ludwig von Mises, it had few champions, even in the market-oriented liberal camp.

Free markets, not government, plan for and adapt to the future.

Our task is to do all in our power and ability to revive an understanding of and inspire a desire to preserve, restore, and extend the ideal and practice of the truly free society.

In the midst of the various crises that are enveloping the world, the political paternalists keep dreaming their dreams of socially engineering a new, centrally planned world.

For decades the social engineering economists have insisted that their cases for government intervention, regulation, and income redistribution were merely “pragmatic” proposals to overcome the inefficiencies and “failures” of the market economy.

Liberty is, once again, under attack by a new collectivist counter-revolution determined to bring down the remaining ideas and institutions of the free society.

Property rights and economic freedom are the key ingredient for promoting civil liberties and a free society.

Socialism always fails – as the complete collapse of the Soviet Union 30 years ago perfectly illustrates.

President Biden’s Build Back Better Plan will only serve to build up government power over its citizens to an even greater degree.

Biden’s money printing spree enabled by the Federal Reserve will have drastic long-term consequences.

American policy makers have learned nothing from twenty years of failure in Afghanistan, and have traded individual liberty for false promises of security.
