"Economic equality in a free society is a mirage that redistributionists envision—and too often are willing to shed both blood and treasure to accomplish. But free people are different people, so it should not come as a surprise that they earn different incomes. Our talents and abilities are not identical. We don’t all work as hard. And even if we all were magically made equal in wealth tonight, we’d be unequal in the morning because some of us would spend it and some of us would save it." To produce economic equality, governments must force people to stop working harder than the next guy, quit coming up with new ideas and taking risks. That is, quit being human. People obsessed with economic equality become envious and covet. For them, society is divided into villains and victims. And when they gain control of government, they don’t just “call the cops, they are the cops.” |

Excellent data on the economic progress of the European countries. Of particular interest is the dramatic growth of Ireland's 6% GDP growth for the year ending Sept 30, 2014 which is double the next best European countries and quadruple Germany's. And yet Paul Krugman railed against Ireland's austerity measures in 2012 as destructive. |

Analysis of Crony Capitalism in America, "... corruption of the public and private sectors which touches nearly every aspect of law and regulation, serving to enrich the well-connected and immunize them from the consequences of their actions." Although published by the Heritage Foundation, it appears to take a balanced approach, acknowledging the corrupt influence of big business along with the complicity of the government. This 192 page online book highlights the interaction of big business and government in promoting and sustaining the wealthy and well connected at the expense of working people and small business entrepreneurs. It looks at the labor market, energy, education, healthcare, regulation, bailouts, welfare, wasteful government spending, personal liberty and foreign policy. |
