(LAST 7 DAYS)
1. How to Cure Health Care The United States spends a mind-boggling percentage of its GDP on a health care system that virtually everyone agrees is a disaster. Is there any way out of this mess? There is—and Hoover fellow Milton Friedman has found it.
2. The Changing American Family During the past 20 years, the American family has undergone a profound transformation. By Herbert S. Klein.
3. Here’s a Second Opinion Ten reasons why America’s health care system is in better condition
than you might suppose. By Scott W. Atlas.
4. Remembering Joseph Brodsky An appreciation of the exiled Russian poet and winner of the Nobel Prize for literature. By Cissie Dore Hill.
5. The Case for Free Trade In international trade, Hoover fellow Charles Wolf Jr. argues above, deficits don't much matter. Here Milton Friedman and Rose Friedman discuss what does: freedom. A ringing statement of logic and principle.
6. The Decline and Fall of American Education American education is in serious trouble. Why aren’t we more concerned? By Paul E. Peterson.
7. The Loneliness of the “Black Conservative” Hoover fellow Shelby Steele on the price of his convictions.
8. Racial Quotas in College Admissions: A Critique of the Bowen and Bok Study In a new statistical analysis, two former Ivy League presidents argue that racial preferences in college admissions are good for both minorities and society at large. Examining the analysis, however, Hoover fellow Thomas Sowell has discovered that the numbers don’t add up.
9. The Hong Kong Experiment A controlled experiment in the field of economics? The last fifty years of history have provided just that. The free economy: Hong Kong. The mixed economy: the United States. The socialist economies: Great Britain and Israel. Nobel laureate and Hoover fellow Milton Friedman evaluates the results.
10. The Longshoreman Philosopher Eric Hoffer’s papers in the Hoover Archives run to many thousands of pages and include journals that have never been published. Hoover media fellow Tom Bethell examines the trove.
