A few months back, to be precise around October last year, there were riots in South Africa. Bloomberg, as usual, emphasized the emotional value instead of looking at what was behind. They publish an article titled "Disenchantment fuels S. African student riots". On the surface the protests were about Universities planning to rise tuition fees. However these protests took place in a gloomy economic environment. The finance minister presented a…

How would you feel if you were working tirelessly for "the greater good" sacrificing your family, life, and everything else only to see your achievements being trashed and you being slapped in the face like a punching bag?

Some time ago we received an anonymous e-mail from a reader who was quite angry. The reader (let's call her Disappointed - although we have no way of knowing the actual gender) either had a toy store or was starting one. Consequently, Disappointed was scouring toy manufacturers in her search for the best toys kids may like. Inevitably, she came across Lego and she did what any prospective retailer would…

A couple of days back The Register-UK publish the article called "GCHQ director blasts free market, says UK must be 'sovereign cryptographic nation'". What's interesting in this article is the fact that the head of the UK spy agency actually came out from the shadows and spilled a thick layer of marketing and propaganda to whoever wanted to listen. Things are really changing these days when one notices that such…

Davos, Switzerland. The super rich and elite powerful people are meeting there and of course the elite powerful religious people are there to tell them what to do and how to do it in economic terms. Who are we referring to? The Pope of course! Because, as you know very well, the Pope is an expert in economic affairs. He knows exactly how to grow an economy, how to provide…

This is an issue that goes to the core of people’s misunderstanding of what Libertarians declare and it actually represents more fake means enabling a very common tactic used by our opponents.

Continuing with our lifelong libertarian saga, today we are going to analyze one more reason why libertarianism is so difficult to get at. Mind you, when we mean "difficult" what we mean is difficult for other people, not for us. This barrier we will talk about today has to do to a degree with the previous barrier that we talked about; this is the The Time Preference Barrier. As a…

Strangely enough, today we are also going to be looking at an article from the Wired Magazinetitled "The Once Powerful Antibiotic Goes the Way of All Flesh". This article deals with an antibiotic called Colistin. This antibiotic was discovered in 1969 but it was never used in humans because it is so toxic. However, this did not stop Chinese farmers from using it in pigs. Yes, the antibiotic is also…

A few days back Wired Magazineposted an article called "Transplants Are a Crazy, Wildly and Unethical Idea". Yes. That magazine. Now why would a technology magazine going off the rails so to speak and move into a theme for which it is clearly not qualified at all? Well, because just like any other so-called "outlet" Wired magazine is not in the business of technology but in the business of making…
