My First Time to East Berlin
by James Bovard

One East Berliner told me there was not much difference between “freedom” in West and East Berlin because some workers in West Berlin had to commute more than half an hour by bus to get to work. Hence, they had no freedom.

Argentina Votes for More Inflation, Spending, and Economic Instability
by José Niño

Argentinians have voted again for the policies that led to the 2014 financial crisis, and many crises before it. The regime remains inflationary and committed to big spending.

The American cost of living is driven up not only by housing and healthcare costs, but by even larger increases in tax bills and government spending.

If one starts with a different view of efficiency and market optimality than the accepted notion of perfect competition then an entirely different set of conclusions relative to government intervention can be reached.
