Lovers of socialized medicine are quick to point out that the United States is the only country in the developed world that doesn't have some form of universal, government-run, i.e., single-payer, health care system. While this may be true, the U.S. system of health care payment and delivery does...

Over the past several weeks, I have been discussing some of the silliness surrounding the analysis of lower oil and gasoline prices. It was pointed out here and here that the main reason why lower prices, if sustained, will lead to economic growth is that they will reduce the cost of production...

There is a proposition in public choice economics called the "special interest effect." It basically argues that government grows because, for most government programs, there are concentrated beneficiaries and diffused cost bearers.

Progressives everywhere are calling for an increase in the minimum wage. The amount of the increase depends on who is calling for it. President Obama wants a 40 percent hike from the current minimum of $7.25 to $10.30 per hour, while others, including some trade unions, are asking for more than a...

With this week's vote and debate on whether or not to proceed with building the Keystone XL pipeline, most of the arguments have centered around economic claims, in particular the pipeline's impact on oil prices and jobs. Personally, my support for the pipeline has nothing to do with either of...

The push is on, both nationally and in several states, to raise the minimum wage from its current $7.25 an hour to $10.30 nationally and as high as $15 in specific cities and states. I think it would be absolutely great if everyone who wanted a job could get one at a wage of $10 or $15 an hour...

The 2014 ozone (smog) season has come and gone. It started on April 1 and ended on October 31. The results for the season are in.

Many people choose not to vote. Laws that benefit only limited special interests are incredibly hard to kill. Government tends to grow, even when voters elect officials who promise fiscal restraint.

For decades people have been debating whether or not people have a "right" to health care. The notion of rights that is typically invoked is distinct from the question of whether people have a right to enter the market for health care services and engage in exchange activity in order to obtain...

Over the last couple of days two articles have come across my desk, one dated September 30, 2014, and the other dated June 11, 1986. Together, these two articles tell an interesting story about just how incredibly wrong the radical global warming alarmists have been.

Those who want to place government-mandated limits on carbon dioxide (often erroneously and sometimes maliciously referred to as just "carbon") emissions claim that their goal is to keep the planet from overheating — that is, to prevent global warming.
