- On the “Tyranny of Freedom”
"As the world begins to reopen, we should all take careful stock of the freedoms and liberties we have retained and ones we may have lost. Most importantly, however, we should shake off the hooks, lines, and sinkers of the world’s tyrants and enforcement sycophants to begin again with a fresh perspective." ~ Lucio Saverio Eastman
- Fifteen Signs You’re in an Abusive Relationship with the Government
"The use of fear and enforcement tactics to shut down dialogue and debate have never led to positive outcomes in any personal, societal, or global interactions." ~ Micha Gartz & Lucio Saverio-Eastman
- Pathological and Parochial Altruism in the Age of Fear
"A healthy altruism already resides in the concepts of liberty, free markets, free trade, and exchanges that are beneficial to each individual. If in the spirit of entrepreneurship, the defectors from the status quo, the disruptors and ingenious can rise up to challenge the “new normal” and break away from the cult of blind obedience and pathological altruism, then there is still hope." ~ Lucio Saverio Eastman

- More Government Debt as Far as the Fiscal Eye Can See
"What is the ethics, James Buchanan asked, of a fiscal system under which incentives exist and come into play that enable the current generation of taxpayers and recipients of government programs to shift part of the burden to pay for them to future generations? Is that a culturally and economically healthy legacy to leave to our children and grandchildren?" ~ Richard M. Ebeling
- The Invisible Hand Relies Upon Visible Prices
"Just as the market order is essential to our survival, prices expressed in money are essential to the market order. Prices are among the visible results of the invisible hand’s successful operation, as well as the single most important source of this success. The market’s invisible hand, in short, alone makes possible – yet equally depends upon – visible market prices." ~ Donald J. Boudreaux
- Consumer Confidence Remained Strong in July
“Consumer attitudes remained at favorable levels in July as easing government restrictions continue to boost economic activity and job prospects.” – Robert Hughes

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they'll have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly & call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation'”
~ Aldous Huxley
