BOOK REVIEW: Terry Goodkind, The Sword of Truth series (New York: Tor Books, 1994–2005).
The young child who turns into the restlessly eager-to-learn, -to create, -to achieve adult is the fountainhead of human progress......
The events of September 11 have changed the political landscape in America. Traditional political groups—progressive, liberal, conservative, and libertarian—have found themselves deeply split over the terrorist attacks and the war.
February 28, 2003 -- A state university uses racial criteria in choosing candidates for admission. It has been doing this for years, as have
The Freeman recently published an excellent article on so-called insider trading: “ Inside Insider Trading ,” by Warren C. Gibson . Aptly enough, the article is illustrated with a picture of Martha Stewart—who was not prosecuted for insider trading.
Doug Bandow, a senier fellow at the Cato Institute, recently had an excellent article in Forbes on insider trading, giving special attention to the Rajaratnam case. http://www.forbes.com/2011/01/20/legalize-insider-trading-economics-opinions-contributors-doug-bandow.html spiderID=1293
Jan/Feb 2008 -- Think playing competitive sports is tough? Sure, the pain of a jarring tackle or the exhaustion after a grueling marathon can push an athlete to the limit. Compared to the business world, however, the pain these individuals go through is slight.
When the ACLU gets involved in a case, even a business rights case, I tend not to notice, because of that organization’s infamous
One of the more satisfying, under-reported barometers of cultural trends is the dismal box office take of recent movies attacking U.S....

Mayer, a professor of law at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio, has just had a book published by the Cato Institute: Liberty..
Objectivists often look to the past for great artwork to contemplate and admire, avoiding the contemporary art scene as hopelessly......
Whenever I discuss environmental crimes, it seems, I am confronted with a parade of horribles: “Suppose a businessman dumps toxic waste on his property that leaches into the water supply, killing everybody in the area and making the region uninhabitable forever. How can tort law possibly deal with that?”
“Robin” Hood (as he is known here in my home state) was referring to State Farm Insurance. Hearing him utter such inanities was not that shocking to me, however, since he has made similar statements repeatedly. Following the lead of Mike Moore, his predecessor in the A.G.’s office, Hood gets a lot of air time by painting big business as evil and dastardly. What Mike Moore did to Big Tobacco, “Robin” Hood hopes to do to State Farm and the insurance industry.
Nowadays this comes across as downright cruelty (as well as downright stupidity), but I understand that this treatment of him was derived from her overvaluation of supposed intellectual consistency in the conduct of daily life. For Rand, there was no ambiguity in the world: if it is true that man has free will and is responsible for his conduct, it cannot also be that there is a condition such as dementia that robs a man of his capacity for choice. Hence her husband’s lapses were wilful and deliberate. At least they were to her. Do modern day Objectivists believe this is the correct and proper way to deal with those suffering from dementia?
