** MANAGERIAL OLIGARCHY: WHY CONSERVATIVES SHOULD OPPOSE BIG BUSINESS ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
“A climate of fear, intimidation, and punishment rather than persuasion has descended on Big Business,” writes ([link removed]) EPPC Postdoctoral Fellow Nathanael Blake in an essay for Public Discourse, adding that “the conservative response has been hamstrung by the Right’s reflexive respect for free market economics.” Politics, he argues, is “an appropriate vehicle by which we can actually reveal our preferences against the power of managerial oligarchy.”

** REPUBLICANS SHUT OUT DEMOCRATS IN TEXAS’S SPECIAL ELECTION. THAT'S A BAD OMEN FOR TEAM BLUE.
------------------------------------------------------------
By EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen
The Washington Post
------------------------------------------------------------
President Biden’s success in the suburbs last year has led many Democrats to crow about their chance to create a new version of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal coalition, which dominated U.S. politics for nearly 50 years.
