The Freeman: April 2003 Volume 53, 2003

This issue critiques the growing fusion of surveillance and state power, showing how government efforts to collect information undermine privacy, civil society, and market dynamism. Contributors examine environmental misconceptions, European bureaucracy, California regulatory abuses, and the illusions behind “smart growth.” Additional articles address altruism, tax withholding, union power, and the lessons of past policy failures for preserving liberty.
