Progressivism And The Great Depression
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the worldwide depression of the 1930s is often attributed to the 1929 stock market crash, Smoot-Hawley trade restrictions leading to a trade war, the failure of American Bank, or the Fed’s subsequent failure to … Continue reading

Excessive Leisure
Dear Friends, It seems to me, excessive idleness is as corrosive to the soul as sulfuric acid is to limestone. As the old saying goes, “An idle mind is the Devil’s playground.” Idleness creates boredom, which becomes a desire to … Continue reading

Breaking The Cycle Of Power and Corruption
Dear Friends, It seems to me, opportunities to break a cycle of power and corruption are few and far between, so when we get one, as we do today, squandering it is not only foolish, it will lead to retaliation … Continue reading

The Problem Of Power
Dear Friends, It seems to me, the root of all evil isn’t love of money, but of power… because money is power. Power of one over another leads to every crime, atrocity and tyranny in history. The answer then is … Continue reading

A Stake in the Game: The Key to Civilizing Youth
