You will be moved by this 11-minute audio story of Wuilly Arteaga, a courageous violinist and opponent of the rotten socialist kleptocracy of Nicolas Maduro.

A wide-ranging, February 15, 2019 interview with Crusoé magazine in Brazil.

The idea that children are an amorphous blob to be deployed for “the greater good” has been used to justify the most awful collectivist disasters, from Hitler’s Germany to Stalin’s Soviet Union.

One of the most important observations about humans is that each of us is extraordinarily and completely unique. No two people who have ever lived have been precisely the same. For me, that screams freedom because you can’t be who you are without it. 

A new initiative seeks to start a transparency revolution at the federal level and zero in on reckless spending. Three cheers for “Open the Books”!

Venezuela’s socialist nightmare is almost over. The questions of when and how it ends—hopefully without more bloodshed—are already giving way to thoughts of what comes next. How does a nation brought low by socialism recover? Answer: Liberty!

Elfie Gallun staged a daring escape at the age of 19 from communist East Germany and was a staunch freedom fighter for the rest of her long life.

The world needs to know that ideas of liberty are alive and growing in Putin’s Russia. Brave, young libertarians are leading the charge. I applaud them. I encourage them. And I ask you to do the same. 

Excuse Me, Professor, my 2014 book, appeared in January 2019 in its new Portuguese edition (retitled Desculpe-Me, Socialista or Excuse Me, Socialist). You can order the Portuguese edition online from either Saraiva (https://bit.ly/2R6nQZi) or Amazon (https://amzn.to/2R1YNXz).

In North Korea, if you like your health care plan, you can keep your health care plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Because ultimately, you have no choice. The place is “governed” by pointless tripe cruelly mislabeled a constitution. The rule of law and a functioning judiciary are virtually nonexistent in this totalitarian nightmare. 

More than a few nations in history have flushed themselves down the fiscal toilet with profligate, publicly financed and politicized “compassion.” It starts small, but politicians have a way of thinking up new constituencies to throw money at and buy votes from.

Titled "In Money We Trust?," a new public television documentary is based on a book by Steve Forbes and Elizabeth Ames. Check it out!

Is a right the same thing as a wish? Why or why not? Or if you need something, does that mean you have a right to it? If I require a kidney, do I have a right to one of yours? Is a right something that can or should be granted or denied by majority vote? 

Maxwell Anderson is an example of an American who was well-known and highly-regarded in his day but forgotten and unappreciated a couple generations later. He deserves to be dusted off and presented anew, especially by FEE because we had a connection to him, as I’ll explain in a moment.

I’m looking into a taste bud transplant. My poor palate doesn’t pick up a fraction of what today’s wine descriptions say it should.

“I shall derive great satisfaction from a co-operation with you, in the pleasing though arduous task of ensuring to our fellow citizens the blessings, which they have a right to expect, from a free, efficient and equal Government” — George Washington, 8 January 1790.

John Ashbrook of Ohio always cared far more for country and principle than for election or party. 

Just imagine how much better life would be if we all worked on these 11 simple things. Can you think of any good reason not to?

The secrets to Leonard Read’s effectiveness—the reasons he is celebrated 35 years after his passing—lie in the magnetism of his character. He was the happiest of happy warriors.

Thirty-five years ago today—on December 27, 1983—the world witnessed a most extraordinary act of forgiveness. Maybe adopting a more forgiving spirit—thinking of forgiveness first as an option when we’re wronged instead of last—would make an excellent New Year’s resolution, if we really mean it and do it.
