America's founders thought the right to earn a living was so basic and obvious that it didn't need to be mentioned in the Bill of Rights. The Right to Earn a Living charts the history of this fundamental human right, from the constitutional system that was designed to protect it by limiting government's powers, to the Civil War Amendments that expanded protection to all Americans, regardless of race.

The crisis began in a small country, Greece, but it led to revelations of international financial vulnerabilities that are overturning the world's monetary system. For years the Greek government spent beyond its means and borrowed to make up the difference. Just like the U.S. government. The U.S. has not yet suffered the dire economic consequences of Greece because of the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency. That means it is the only country...

Wettbewerb gilt im allgemeinen Verständnis als Grundvoraussetzung für wirtschaftliche Entwicklung. Die Europäische Union (EU) hat dies sogar in den vier Freiheiten des Binnenmarkts institutionalisiert. Auch in Deutschland gilt: je mehr Wettbewerb es gibt, desto mehr wirtschaftliche Dynamik bekommen wir. Doch kann man an einer solchen Denkweise tatsächlich noch festhalten? Was wäre, wenn wir dieses Modell von Grund auf neu denken würden? Ist...

Countless studies have proven that over 90 percent of Trump-related news coverage is negative, and the percentage of journalists that identify as Republicans are in the single digits. When liberals are running the show, you can bet that their narrative has gone unchallenged. If you tell a lie long enough people will begin to believe it, and that's certainly the case with so many liberal myths that have become accepted as conventional wisdom. In this...

Demostrates that a true liberal capitalism still has the capacity to enable personal well-being while dealing with new challenges such as pandemics, climate change, and automation.
Capitalism has lost its glamor. In just three decades since it "defeated" a totalitarian Soviet Union, capitalism is today blamed for slowing growth, a dangerously changing climate, inequality, social misery, and a rise in nationalist populism. How did capitalism fall...
