  Sheldon Richman | Friday, October 27, 2006
  Last week, with the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Bank, I underscored the historical-philosophical link between freedom of commerce and peace in classical liberalism. What I did not know at the time, and what I have since learned thanks to Auburn University philosopher Roderick T. Long, is that one of the first winners of the Nobel Peace Prize was a man who consciously placed himself in the liberal tradition of Frederic Bastiat and Richard Cobden. More . . .

  The collapse late last month of world trade talks, known as the Doha Round (after the capital of Qatar), was overshadowed by continuing bad news from Iraq and Afghanistan and the outbreak of war between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. While the bloodletting there is unlikely to be the golden opportunity some think it is, the breakdown of the WTO talks could be — if we seize it. More . . .

  New anthology ebook edited by Lawrence W. Reed!

  What happens to our decision-making when we believe that other people are less than human? What happens when those with distorted beliefs have the power to harm others?

  Walter Block | Thursday, January 20, 2022

  During the Cold War, communist functionaries who visited West Germany continually complained that only a few grocery stores in East Germany were as fully packed as those in West Germany.

  What were they doing differently?
