Monday, December 4, 2017

I generally favor private, voluntary solutions to social problems over government mandated solutions. Some private solutions involve business. Others involve charities or foundations. But I’m not an anarchist. There are many things the government does better than the private sector — defense, police, the courts, enforcing property rights and protecting the environment.

Thursday, November 30, 2017

The explosion of sexual harassment and assault claims, some going back forty years, is the inevitable consequence of the sexual revolution.
