This issue interrogates classical arguments for state involvement in education, explores the Church’s evolving relationship with free-market thinking, and demonstrates how markets communicate information far more reliably than conversations. Other articles dissect ambiguous uses of rights language, critique the complexities of “flat tax” proposals, draw lessons from tax cuts in the 1920s, and reveal how estate taxes erode wealth. Further contributions challenge politicized multiculturalism, defend the virtues of failure in a market order, and celebrate Macaulay’s eloquent defense of liberty.
