Leaders of both parties agree: We must reduce globalization. "China is ripping us on trade," says Donald Trump. Our trade deficit is "an immorality," says Nancy Pelosi. But it's not. In my new video, Scott Lincicome of the Cato Institute points out, "Selling us stuff is hardly ripping us ...
What if you come home and find strangers living in your house? I assumed you order the squatters out, and if they resist, call the police, and they will kick them out. Wrong. Pro-tenant laws passed by anti-capitalist politicians now protect squatters. If a squatter just lies about having a ...
The left has a new goal: degrowth! We should "buy less stuff," forgive debts, grow our own food, etc. They say this will "build a more just and sustainable society" and "save the planet" from "climate chaos." This idea is popular with capitalism-haters. One at a ChangeNow "eco conference" says, ...

Politicians are often takers. They take our money (and freedom) in the name of achieving goals they rarely achieve. Elon Musk and Sen. Elizabeth Warren may be the best examples of maker and taker. They're the stars of my video this week. Warren shouts, "Tax the rich!" She especially wants to ...
In this season of giving, I'll donate to the Doe Fund, a charity that helps drug abusers and ex-cons find purpose in life through work. Doe's approach doesn't include many handouts. It's mostly about encouraging people to work. "Work works!" they say. It does. Most Doe Fund workers don't go ...
United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry says it will take trillions of dollars to "solve" climate change. Then he says, "There is not enough money in any country in the world to actually solve this problem." Kerry has little understanding of money or how it's created. He's ...
