Today's Thought

 

"I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.” 

    - Thomas Sowell

Lead By Example, Not With A Label

By Brett Bitner on UnitedLiberty.org

 
"By living your life in a way that exemplifies your beliefs, your actions display what you believe. This means getting involved in your community, volunteering for charity activities, and networking. What does it say to you when someone constantly talks about their amazing gardening skills, but you never see their tomatoes or roses? Is your mind questioning those supposed skills? The same thing goes for libertarian ideals. You can talk ALL DAY LONG about the wonders of free markets, voluntary cooperation, and how private charity outperforms government welfare programs in every way, but if no one sees you “gardening,” how much weight do your words carry?"

This Week's Freedom Five


#1    The Stimulus Trap by Peter Schiff

"Unfortunately, the longer the Fed waits to exit, the more painful the exit will be. But trading long-term pain for short-term gain is the Fed's specialty.

#2    Why D.C. Is the Richest Region in the Country by John Stossel (Reason.com)

#3    The Golden Age of America is Now (StephanKinsella.com)

"Libertarianism and free market economics (including Austrian) are on the rise; the numbers of intellectuals, students, etc. who are interested in these ideas today completely dwarfs numbers from even the 1980s, and even more so those of earlier generations."

#5   Our Common Humanity in Death and Marriage by Steve Horwitz (BleedingHeartLibertarians.com)
"Libertarians can disagree in good faith about what the relationship should be between marriage and the state. In the first-best world, many of us agree that marriage should be freed from the state. I certainly do. And in the second-best world we can and do disagree about whether the state should treat same-sex couples equally when it comes to marriage."   Read More...

This Week's Reading Recommendation

The Austrian Theory of the Trade Cycle – Richard Ebeling (2009) - New edition with an introduction by Roger Garrison and an index. Booms and busts are not endemic to the free market, argues the Austrian theory of the business cycle, but come about through manipulation of money and credit by central banks. (Read More)
