The political class can't imagine a decentralized world where good things happen...without them. But in the real world, that's exactly how good things happen, and how jobs are created. When government sets simple rules that everyone understands and then gets out of the way, free people create jobs.

Government is so big today that more than half the population gets a major part of its income from the state.

[T]he only way to shrink the trade deficit is for the government to prohibit us from buying whatever we want.

The one thing I've learned is that stuttering in public is never as bad as I fear it will be.

What private property does is connect effort to reward, creating an incentive for people to produce for more. Then, if there's a free market, people will trade their surpluses to others for the things they lack. Mutual exchange for mutual benefit makes the community richer.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.
