The Freeman: March 2001 Volume 51, 2001

This issue celebrates the “luckiest generation,” showing how rising wealth, technological progress, and expanding choice have dramatically improved the prospects of young Americans. Contributors examine how computers have reshaped corporations, defend the Electoral College, and criticize drug policy, welfare reforms, and egalitarian schemes that erode responsibility and liberty. Additional essays explore creativity and resources, gun rights, education and school choice, pollution and efficiency, and the persistence of anti-capitalist sentiment in a world made rich by markets.
