Monty Pelerin will be out of town for about ten days doing his part for economic stimulus. Thus, posts will be few during this period.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today. Thomas Sowell
One-third of the people in the United States promote, while the other two-thirds provide. Will Rogers
War against a foreign country only happens when the moneyed classes think they are going to profit from it. George Orwell
To act on the belief that we possess the knowledge and the power which enable us to shape the processes of society entirely to our liking, knowledge which in fact we do not possess, is likely to make us do much harm. Friedrich Hayek
I believe that the country is in long-term secular decline. There is no natural “cycle of civilization” that causes this decline. Historical declines are the result of poor policies implemented over many years. These can be modified, however history provides almost no examples of such reversals. Monty Pelerin
My friends, some years ago the federal government declared war on poverty - and poverty won. Ronald Reagan
