Freedom works

Picks & pans | Author is a voice of reason in a swamp of statist megalomania | Alex Tokarev

On a cold and blustery night I made up my mind to leave my home in search of a better life. Despite its hard-working and entrepreneurial people, Bulgaria was in ruins thanks to socialism. I came to America, a field where dreams come true in a climate of economic freedom, and I expected to find a nation that rejoices in its victory over the empire of evil.

Instead, I encountered grumpy old academics working hard to change the intellectual climate into one of servitude to the State. That is why I salute John Lott's Freedomnomics: Why the Free Market Works and Other Half-Baked Theories Don't (Regnery, 2007), a voice of reason in a swamp of interventionist megalomania that threatens to push the land of the free down the road of the late Roman Empire.
