… In this video – as my dear friend Tom Palmer notes – “Russian philosopher Leonid Nikonov explains the differences between socialism, cronyism, and free market capitalism.”
… Chris Edwards reveals that Warren Buffett’s grasp of tax facts is palsied. (Mark Perry chimes in, too, over at Carpe Diem.)
… David Boaz uncovers more evidence of the civilizing properties of commerce.
