This issue explores the virtues of moderation in public affairs, the moral hazards created by political meddling, and the power of individual responsibility in economic and social life. Articles examine how rights-language becomes distorted when used to justify political favors, analyze campaign-finance proposals, and expose the unintended effects of minimum-wage laws and racial-preferencing. Additional essays discuss eminent domain abuses, California’s shift toward labor flexibility, public-choice explanations of political failure, and the enduring lessons of thinkers such as Frank Chodorov.
