The Freeman: January 1981 Volume 31, 1981

This issue of The Freeman examines the economic fallacies behind protectionist “Buy American” sentiment, the moral foundations of human freedom, and the role of saving and capital formation in America’s rise to prosperity. It explores the relationship between the individual and society, the expansion of government power, and the consequences of materialist philosophies that deny human personhood. Additional essays include reflections on natural law, economic liberty, and the spiritual roots of a free civilization.
