The essence of capitalism’s foreign policy is free trade–i.e., the abolition of trade barriers, of protective tariffs, of special privileges–the opening of the world’s trade routes to free international exchange and competition among the private citizens of all countries dealing directly with one another. – AYN RAND
Argentine President Javier Milei has postponed the implementation of his much-anticipated dollarization plan. Some commentators, including Steve Forbes, have urged Milei to pick up the pace before it’s too late. Is it too late for Argentina to dollarize? One major...
Vietnam may still officially call itself “socialist” and have a one-party system, but the people in Vietnam have a distinctly capitalist mindset.
Sweden had the lowest excess mortality in all of Europe, even the New York Times, which had mocked Sweden’s covid-19 pandemic strategy, conceded that the nation’s laissez-faire approach was hardly the disaster many had predicted.
The revelation that Argentina has done something the US government hasn’t done in more than two decades—run a budget surplus—seems like a newsworthy event. So why the silence?
Unless the Biden administration changes course and encourages Israel to achieve its legitimate military goal of defeating Hamas, terrorism will win and civilization will lose.
Xi seems to have made his primary objective returning to the Bad Ole’ Maoist Days.
Milei has not dollarized Argentina as promised. Instead, he has chosen a more gradual approach, implementing a series of fiscal and structural reforms that he believes will lay the groundwork for future dollarization.
The Middle East and the world would be a safer place without the current Iranian regime.
Since the day the mullahs arranged to take over the American embassy and hold our citizens hostage in 1979, Iran has been in a state of war with the United States.
Pandering to the EU to go after U.S. companies makes no sense. It needlessly cedes national sovereignty with no tangible benefits for the United States.
Hamas knew that by crossing into Israel and murdering, raping and kidnapping its civilians, it was signing a death warrant for many Gazan civilians whom Hamas intended to use as human shields.
The United States and Israel must assume that unless it is stopped, Iran will soon — how soon is always a matter of degree — have a nuclear arsenal.
Accusing Israel of ‘Genocide’ Reflects, at Best, Ignorance of the Term’s Meaning and, at Worst, Complicity With Hamas Terrorists.
The astonishing rise to power of Javier Milei, a staunch advocate of free markets and sound money, who on December 6 was overwhelmingly elected as Argentina’s new President by a popular margin of 55.5%.
To sacrifice victory in order to placate the civilians of Gaza, or to reduce criticism of Israel from the biased international community, academia or the media, would be wrong, both morally and strategically.
Milei is not actually a fan of dollars, precisely because the US currency is also managed by the politicized discretion of a central bank. His goal seems to be a change in the very economic constitution of Argentina, forcing a permanent separation of money and state.
Either you support Israel’s right to defend itself, or you don’t. You can’t have both.
The new Israeli-Hamas war is David vs. Goliath all over again.
From its beginning, the Arab-Israeli conflict was a war between civilization and barbarism.
Those calling for a cease fire conveniently ignore the fact that there was a ceasefire until Hamas attacked Israel on October 7.
The media needs to condemn Hamas for using Palestinian babies and civilians as shields.
Innocent Gaza citizens should criticize Hamas for their misery and suffering, not Israel.
There will be no peace in the Middle East unless secular freedom rather than theocratic despotism becomes the Palestinians’ guiding philosophy.
Anyone who joins these “pro-Palestine” protests or signs their petitions should know what they’re supporting: not the Palestinian people who seek peace but Hamas terrorists who seek to destroy Israel and the Jewish people.
It is impossible to understand the enduring Israeli-Palestinian conflicts and the current war without understanding history, philosophy, and strategies.
Elan Journo and Nikos Sotirakopoulos debunk one of the most widespread lies regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict, and add the necessary historical and philosophical context.
The most dangerous wannabe-destroyers of Israel have come from the left.
No matter how much damage Israel inflicts on the Hamas military, Iran-inspired terrorism will not be deterred.
The collateral deaths of Palestinian civilians, caused directly by the Hamas decision to use them as human shields, would be the moral, political, and legal responsibility of Hamas.
Every time a Palestinian or Israeli civilian is killed, Hamas wins. That’s why they use children and women as human shields. That’s why they boast that their civilians love death in the way Israelis love life. That is why Islamic jihad fires rockets from areas near hospitals.
Gaza civilians need refuge. Why won’t the Arab world provide it?
The only way to deter terrorist attacks on Israel is to punish who’s responsible: Iran
