Christians in Nigeria are becoming modern-day martyrs. People of faith must raise our voices to respond to their plight. My latest in @thehill. Please take a second to read, pray and do what you can for the persecuted. thehill.com/opinion/intern…
I wrote in March that I expect tariffs to have a negligible effect on inflation, even though tariffs do raise prices. I explain why this apparent contradiction is no such thing, with some help from @BryanPCutsinger, in this new piece @NRO nationalreview.com/2025/07/why-ta…
Check out this @AIER Econception in which @DominicJPino interviews @DavidBahnsen on #business, the problems of #ESG, and what should be the REAL purpose - dare I say, the TELOS - of business in a market economy and free society: aier.org/podcast/what-i…
This chart shows how US companies have shifted away from importing simple manufactured goods from China and now source them from Vietnam. Some of us have been predicting for a while that this would happen.
Excellent @thedailyeconomy article on #stablecoin laws and #Bitcoin by my @aier colleague @Econ_Goggles Julia R. Cartwright: thedailyeconomy.org/article/bitcoi…

A year ago, my @AIER paper "A Free, Prosperous, and Secure America" was published. I sought to show how trade liberalization bolsters rather than undermines US national security. That point is more relevant for our #trade debate than ever. Read more:⬇️ aier.org/article/a-free…
Americans are squeezed by rising healthcare bills, but instead of targeting the root causes of high drug prices, states such as Arkansas, Louisiana, and Wisconsin are rushing to regulate Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), one of the few effective forces holding the line on…
One of my favorite @aier papers is the great @AmityShlaes’ analysis of the ways in which #populism drove some of FDR’s most disastrous policies during the #GreatDepression:⬇️ aier.org/wp-content/upl…
Economics of the Minimum Wage
