Jeremy Horpedahl and Phillip W. Magness While the Trump administration had already rolled out tariff increases against our largest trading partners—Canada, Mexico, and China—several weeks ago (and then delayed some of them), we finally got a picture of President Trump’s big tariff plans on April 2. And those plans are worse than most economists probably imagined. At his announcement of the tariffs, Trump pulled out a printed table of data, showing the supposed tariff rates that countries were […]
When President Donald Trump reentered office in January, he immediately set about removing all traces of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from the federal government. He signed one executive order “ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs and preferencing” and another “ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity.” More recently, anti-DEI efforts have moved from the government into the private sector. Last week, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr threatened Disney—which owns the ABC broadcast network—with […]
Old Wealth, the Kuomintang, and the CIA’s Air America By: Peter Dale Scott September 15, 2022 Abstract: An essay of mine, with the title “Private War Enterprise in Asia: Air America, the Brook Club and the Kuomintang,” was sent by me in 1970 to Ramparts magazine.

Colleen Hroncich Milton and Rose Friedman. As educational freedom and school choice have spread in recent years, it’s become clear that not all programs are created equal. But how to rank them is tricky. Many organizations, including Cato, the Heritage Foundation, and ALEC, have education freedom indices that incorporate a variety of metrics. The latest—and simplest—ranking was released last month: the EdChoice Friedman Index. It’s named after the late Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, founder of EdChoice (originally […]
Summary: Wealthy boomers and wage earners, regardless of political affiliation are beginning to express panic amid a drop in the stock market. This reaction highlights the “Numbers Go Up” mindset, where stock market performance is seen as the sole indicator of societal health despite real-world issues like inflation and social decay. This article critiques this unhealthy obsession, noting how panic from a continued drop in the market will be exploited by the elites for their own purposes. https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/the-numbers-go-up-hypothesis […]
Quando percebo que algo ameaça minha paz, já acendo o alerta. Não é medo, é maturidade. Porque antes de qualquer coisa, eu me respeito. Sou muito bem comigo mesmo, e às vezes até melhor só… Do que tentando ser “o cara certo” em uma relação errada. A minha paz não é negociável.
