This issue of The Freeman examines the nonviolent path to freer societies, comparing Gandhi’s principled resistance with the unchecked power of modern governments. It critiques egalitarian political schemes, explains how property rights sustain prosperity, and explores the economic distortions created by planning and coercive redistribution. Additional essays defend pluralism in education, analyze the moral erosion caused by envy, and illustrate how markets transform scarcity into abundance through innovation and voluntary exchange. Book reviews consider works on political leadership, federal regulation, and the philosophical foundations of liberty.
