This issue explores the many ways government intervention distorts markets and undermines liberty, from anticompetitive corporate regulations to long-running agricultural programs that prevent necessary adjustment. It critiques unemployment compensation for discouraging labor mobility, analyzes hostile takeovers as market corrections that protect shareholder rights, and highlights how legal plunder masquerades as charity. Additional content includes an outline for teaching free-market economics and reviews of major works on eminent domain and welfare-state economics.
