Herbert Hoover, Enemy of Free Markets
American History is the source of many enduring myths. George Washington didn’t chop down the cherry tree, Abraham Lincoln did not free the slaves (or even end slavery in this country), and Jim Crow was not the natural heir to post-war policies in the South in the 1860s and 70s. But myths persist, not because of any truths inherent in them, but because certain people find it advantageous to promote them. And perhaps there is no greater myth being...

Karl Marx’s Missing Link: Erasing the Line Between Mercantilism and Capitalism
In Das Kapital, Karl Marx outlined a historical progression of socioeconomic systems: tribal communism, slave societies, feudalism, capitalism, socialism, and communism. However, one notable omission from this framework is mercantilism. Why was it left out? While mercantilism and capitalism overlap, they are distinct systems with different economic policies, modes of production, and underlying principles. By omitting mercantilism, Marx could...
