The September-October issue features election analysis from James Bovard and Joe Salerno, plus David Gordon and Louis Rouanet on free trade.
James Bovard sums it up:
Modern democracy is based on faith that the people can control what they do not understand. Election results are often only a one-day snapshot of transient mass delusions. Most voters make little or no effort to understand the policies that increasingly dominate their lives. Even policies which decimate the savings of scores of millions of Americans, such as the Federal Reserve’s zero interest policy, rarely if ever show up on the radar screen. When candidates do discuss federal policies, they are confident most listeners do not know enough to recognize malarkey when they hear it.
The featured articles are posted online here, and here’s the latest issue in PDF format.
