L. Rev. 2001), cited by over 100 cases. As with many heavily cited articles, this one got many follow-on cites stemming from some early appellate court cites; but that itself […]

When Progressives in The US Don’t Understand Economics, They End Up Working Against Progress

⋅

Sometimes, progressive-sounding policies can end up being the opposite of what they were supposed to achieve. They often create new problems or reinforce the existing ones. California is a prime example of this: progressive policies that were (sometimes) meant to protect people end up benefiting the wealthy and powerful, while the working class gets left holding the bag.

⁠O Nada e o Tudo No princípio, antes do verbo, o v… Felipe Mateus Alessi
