Leftists love citing countries like Sweden as proof that “democratic socialism” works. To set the record straight, I recently gave a campus talk, entitled “Sweden: Socialist Paradise or Egalitarian Nightmare?” at Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
Today The Undercurrent published an extensive interview with Steve Simpson on the meaning of free speech and the First Amendment, as well as other topics.
We constantly hear warnings that economic inequality is rising, but the question almost no one asks is: Who cares? In this video, Equal Is Unfair co-author Don Watkins breaks down the fallacies behind inequality alarmism and shows that we should stop worrying about income gaps.
In this episode of The Yaron Brook Show, originally aired on AM 560 The Answer on March 12, 2016, Yaron Brook challenges the notion that the loss of manufacturing jobs is a disaster.
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?
