I’m generally optimistic about the robustness of a free society – optimistic about its ability to withstand large measures of harmful and heavy-handed government intrusions. But that optimism is noticeably diminished whenever I read of plagues of bureaucrats swarming into the lives of innocent people – plagues such as that suffered by marine biologist Nancy Black and related here by George Will [1].
Here’s Richard Epstein on gun control [4]. (Note also the comment beneath his essay by Steve Stanek.)
My colleague Dick Wagner explores, with Steve Hanke as co-author, two systems of public finance [5].
David Henderson offers sound analysis of the economics and history of cronyism [6].
Here’s an ungated version [7] of a recent Asian Wall Street Journal essay by Barun Mitra [8] on reforming India’s institution for supplying electricity.
Ed Glaeser writes wisely in the Boston Globe about outsourcing [9]. (HT Jeff Jacoby)
