Sandy Ikeda argues persuasively that the case for free markets cannot be solidly built on the myth – however analytically convenient that myth might be for some purposes – of [1]homo economicus [1].
Don’t tread on my – or Kendra St. Clair’s – right to own firearms [2]. (HT Walter Williams)
Bart Hinkle (with inspiration from Bob Higgs) gives a potent example [4] of the wisdom of James Madison’s warning that (to quote the line that leads Bart’s essay) “Free men must guard against the old trick of turning every contingency into a resource for accumulating force in government.” (Note that Madison issued this warning long before Rahm Emanuel gave it modern salience [5].)
Garett Jones makes a solid case for the Electoral College [6].
Arthur Foulkes on the happy effects of free trade [8].
