This Saturday, March 19, Yaron Brook will talk about the trade deficit. Is it a threat to America? He will also comment on the Zika virus outbreak and the violence at Donald Trump’s Chicago rally.
Today many believe that Senator Bernie Sanders’ vision of “democratic socialism” works. As proof, they cite the success and prosperity of countries like Sweden.
In Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality, Yaron Brook and I argue that the campaign to fight economic inequality is unjust. One response I’ve heard from people who have only seen the title of the book (and one critical reviewer) is that we’re attacking a straw man. No one advocates full economic equality, they say.
From the attack on Charlie Hebdo to campus speech codes, it is clear that freedom of speech faces significant threats today. Unlike the rest of the world, America has the First Amendment to protect this right. But is the First Amendment enough?
On March 10, 2016, Onkar Ghate, senior fellow, and Carl Svanberg, research associate, spoke on the meaning and value of educational freedom at the North Carolina Alliance for Public Charter Schools’ 2016 Charter School Conference in Charlotte, NC.
Yaron Brook will be in the Chicago area March 21 to March 23 to discuss his much anticipated new book, Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality. The book, co-authored by Don Watkins, is the first major narrative to challenge Bernie, Hillary and the rest of the inequality alarmists.
If you leave people free, you’re going to get enormous economic inequality because different people produce different amounts of wealth. So how can the government make people equal? Only one way: use physical force to prop some people up and to pull other people down. But how is that fair?
Don Watkins and Yaron Brook’s new book Equal Is Unfair: America’s Misguided Fight Against Income Inequality will be available on March 29. But you can read the book’s first chapter, “Who Cares About Inequality?” right now.
On February 26, 2016, Yaron Brook participated in a Federalist Society panel on the relationship between capitalism and inequality. The panel was the first in the Federalist Society’s 2016 National Student Symposium, which was titled “Poverty, Inequality, and the Law.”
