This issue of The Freeman examines the workers’ uprising in Poland and the contradictions of communist rule, the natural-law foundations of individual rights, and the demographic and moral limits of utopian political schemes. It also considers how work shapes character, why centralized planning undermines prosperity, and how unions fueled by coercion distort both public and private sectors. Additional articles explore resource use in a free society and review works on lifelong learning, urban education, and the rise of transfer-state policies.
