Election 2024: The Obligatory Explanation Column

I hate election explanation columns. I had no intention of writing such a column for two reasons.

Unlike most advocates of tariffs in the Trump-Biden era, Alexander William Salter is willing to ask “Will Free Trade Bring Peace and Prosperity?” (The Wall Street Journal, October 29). The Rawls College of Business Administration academic even sees said peace as an admirable if uncertain goal, and acknowledges that the answer to the second half … Continue reading Protectionism and Preparedness Remain Roads to Serfdom and Slaughter → - by Thomas L.

How Joe Biden Could Save Lives And Change American Politics On His Way Out The Door

Wait, what? We’re talking about Joe Biden? Why? He’s a “lame duck.”  No matter who wins the US presidential election on November 5, he’s going home to Delaware on January 20.  His chances of asking  for, and getting, much from Congress during that two-and-a-half month interregnum are negligible. But as head of the US government’s … Continue reading How Joe Biden Could Save Lives And Change American Politics On His Way Out The Door → - by Thomas L. Knapp
