The Freeman: October 2001 Volume 51, 2001

This issue focuses on energy policy and environmental regulation, arguing that high gasoline prices, energy taxes, and command-and-control pollution rules stem from political pretensions of knowledge rather than market realities. Articles highlight black innovators and entrepreneurs, defend property rights and voluntary cooperation, question U.N. attempts to redefine the family, and profile Powel Crosley as a forgotten American entrepreneur. Additional pieces address SUVs and safety, Balkan policy, markets for pollution rights, conflict over government allocation, electricity price caps, and books on libertarian theory, welfare policy, constitutional violations, and global-warming alarmism.
