    About this ebook

    Every day Americans are told that the free market is rigged, uncaring, misogynistic, unfair, unjust, racist and evil. We're told that socialism can fix everything. That by embracing socialism, we will make society fairer, more peaceful, save the planet, enable equality, ending sexism and racism. In short, enabling utopia. Yet, socialism offers nothing new. Socialism’s gaining ground with many well meaning people that need free markets the most, by claiming the failures weren’t “real” socialism, often through distorting the history of capitalism and embellishment of socialism. Without many of the academic trappings of the subject, this book offers some explanations as to why so many people are turning to socialism. It focus mostly on economic understanding, and why socialism falls short of free markets in terms of both economic and moral outcomes. It highlights the hypocrisy of America’s “new” democratic socialists, and illustrates what we’re losing through the socialist mindset.

      The Power of 'Onlyness'

      May 1, 2018

      How do you define ‘onlyness’? The word actually doesn’t appear in the English dictionary, but I would argue that it should. Simply put, it means that anyone’s — and quite possibly everyone’s — ideas matter. The genesis of the word starts with the fac

      One of the most depressing aspects of the Salman Rushdie stabbing is the way that it so quickly became folded into our ongoing obsession with the so-called culture wars. It is extraordinary and saddening that when writers as august as Philip Pullman,
