The Freeman: August 1988 Volume 38, 1988

This issue opens with a gripping escape from Soviet-occupied Czechoslovakia and continues with analyses of how weak socialist economies fuel militarism. Additional essays examine school censorship under state compulsion, propose private-sector models for judicial reform, and profile classical liberal leader John Bright. Articles also highlight early American industrial success, celebrate Booker T. Washington’s philosophy of self-reliance, and offer practical approaches to helping the poor.
