The central character in Agnieszka Holland’s riveting account of the Ukrainian Holodomor is pursued by intrepid journalist Gareth Jones but the desired interviewee nonetheless never makes a genuine appearance. Such is fitting as the crux of the issue and the cause of the events addressed in Mr. Jones are not the makings of just one man–no…

Her historical perspective has been pointed and consistent even as her gender identification has not. The brilliant and endlessly insightful Deirdre McCloskey has released her new book, really a collection of fine essays, which tackles the questions of real wealth creation, British imperialism and the Great Enrichment–a period of history in which we are truly…

As the old joke goes: “What is the difference between a minarchist and an anarchist?” A: About six months. The joke now needs to be amended to six months and/or this documentary.

If you feel out of place today, that is because you are normal. No, not in the derogatory “normie”, “blue-pilled” way, but in the well-adjusted, emotionally-stable, confident human being senses of the term. You have meaningful relationships.

David Hart explains Bastiat’s genius here in that he recognized, yes, the impingements of government on producers, but more so the devastation wrought by central planners on consumers. Both are forgotten groups in history.
True master of several arts: history, philosophy, podcasting, martial and (almost there in…) economics–Thaddeus Russell just posted his interview with the sublime Warren Farrell, hated truth-teller.
