This issue explores the contrast between family-level sharing and nationalized socialism, showing how love and voluntary responsibility make “socialist” distribution work within households but not in political systems. Additional essays analyze the economic damage caused by hurricane price controls, defend free-market opportunities for women, and question foreign-aid schemes that treat money as a cure-all for global poverty. The issue also examines China’s religious climate, the political reversal of China’s economic liberalization, a Michigan city’s experiment with privatization, and competing theories of natural rights. Reports on Argentina’s struggle between liberalism and statism and several book reviews round out the volume.
