This issue of The Freeman critiques protectionism and its economic and political dangers, highlights how government-created barriers penalize employment, and examines the growing adversarial movement against production and markets. It also explores constitutional limits on federal power, the meaning of the general welfare clause, personal responsibility and self-improvement, the fallacies of price-level stabilization, and classic debates on the proper sphere of government. Additional essays address welfare policy, manipulation in human relationships, and include a review of The War Against Progress.
