*Today the lines between violence and speech are increasingly blurred.

Money and Virtue in the Ancient World
It is never a bad idea to remind students of economics that, long before Smith’s Wealth of Nations gave birth to modern economics, complex and vivid discussion of economics were already happening.

Two excellent reminders of the length and complexity […] The post Money and Virtue in the Ancient World appeared first on Econlib.

Each superpower had drawn up war plans and knew that they could end up fighting. The end of a war only rarely settles the central questions that started the conflict.

President Donald Trump’s 2021 Budget Bonanza
*Chris Edwards* *economy, Americas* [image: CATO Institute] Some pundits will say that the Trump spending cuts will hurt the economy, but that narrative is false.

In the face of huge deficits, the budget proposes numerous reforms to discretionary and entitlement spending and foresees the budget eventually balancing by 2035. On the revenue side, the budget would extend the Trump tax cuts beyond 2025, which would reduce federal revenue growth. But the budget also assumes strong economic growth in the coming ye... more »

Iraq’s Oil Exports And Profits Down In Jan 2020
(Oil Price.com) For the second month in a row both Iraq’s oil exports and its profits dropped.

In January 2020 Iraq exported a total of 102.485 million barrels of oil. That averaged out to 3.306 million barrels a day (mbd). That was down from December’s 3.428 mbd and November’s 3.5 mbd.

How Virus DNA Could Hold the Key to a Cancer Vaccine?
*Daniel Brewer* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] Here's what we know. Cervical cancer is one of the only cancers that can be prevented by a vaccine. This is because around 98% of all cervical cancer cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), which implants DNA in the genome of human cells, causing them to become cancerous. The HPV vaccine can prevent infection by two of the most common types of this virus, which stops it from causing cancer. The vaccine is routinely given to adolescent girls aged 13 and above in the UK, and has reduced pre-cancerous cervical dise... more »

WAPO: It's a Lie That the Democrat Race is Between Moderates and Socialists. Let's Face It, They're All a Bunch of Radical Socialists.
The *Washington Post editorial board* is fed up with all of you deplorables talking about the Democrat primary as some sort of civil war between the far left and centrists and point out that the entire field is chock full of socialists. They say "centrists" and "the left." But "the left" is just a polite euphemism for radical socialists. IT HAS become an unchecked assumption about the Democratic presidential race: "The candidates are fighting an ideological war between "left" and "center." This narrative is false, and it is hardly benign. It minimizes the bold policy ambitions of t... more »

Looks Like 2020 Is Going To Be A Big Betsy DeVos Year
Betsy DeVos may not be the most effective or qualified secretary of education ever, but she sure has managed to become the most famous (go ahead-- name five other education secretaries). And that fame is so very two-edged that she appears poised to be a major fixture on all sides of this year's election cycle. On the one hand, she has been tapped to be a card-carrying Trump surrogate, and is apparently a big hit with the base. She's a perfect spokeswoman for the axis of free market Jesus, with a strong libertarian "let's burn down the government" streak, and she is not one to wander... more »

Stare hard at the hummingbird, in the summer rain, shaking the water-sparks from its wings. Let grief be your sister, she will whether or no.

Slow Joe's Long March
When I watch the Biden rallies in New Hampshire, I can't help but contrast them to the political rallies that President Trump has. Biden manages fifty or sixty people, among whom are union members (paid to be there) carrying signs showing that they represent firefighters or SEIU.

And yet the pollsters predict that in a head to head match up, Biden would beat President Trump. It sounds like wishful thinking on the part of ... more »
