KNAPP: “Peak libertarianism?” No, Thom Hartmann is just a sore winner.

“We have now reached peak Libertarianism,” Thom Hartmann informs us at CounterPunch, “and this bizarre experiment that has been promoted by the billionaire class for over 40 years is literally killing us.” That claim is so bizarre on its face that it’s easy to dismiss. On the other hand, even the craziest claims can fool people if nobody takes the time to debunk them. Even in its most watered-down, weak-tea form, Libertarianism calls for “smaller government.” That’s not its real […]

Pompeii: Italy’s frozen-in-time Roman city

I love exploring the world of ancient Rome, with its grand architecture, fascinating culture, and stories of larger-than-life leaders. But since many of the 2,000-year-old empire's landmarks are reduced to ruins, it can be hard to make sense of the stones and rubble left behind. To get a clearer picture of what everyday life in ancient Rome was really like, visit the well-preserved (and unlucky) city of Pompeii. Located just south of Naples, Pompeii was founded in 600 BC and […]

KNAPP: Political parties are inevitable and ugly, but not entirely useless

George Washington, America’s first president, devoted part of his 1796 farewell address to warning against “[t]he alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension.” He feared perpetual war for power between political parties both as “a frightful despotism” in and of itself, and as a prelude to some future tyrant seeking “his own elevation on the ruins of public liberty.” Was Washington right? Sort of. Political parties possess all the evil […]

RIX QUINN’S MINUTE STORY: Bananas!

Research appears all the time about monkeys. This, I suspect, is because they’re the second-brightest animals in the world. But, before we discuss recent findings, a little background. Orangutans possess outstanding visual memory. If they see something far away, they remember it. Near-sighted orangutans, therefore, may have short memories. They also boast mechanical skills. Sometimes they stack objects -- one atop the other -- so they can reach food. “Reaching food,” obviously, is a big motivation, followed by “reaching new […]

KNAPP: The road to hell is paved with economic plans

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden says he has an economic plan for America to “Build Back Better.” US president Donald Trump complains that Biden “plagiarized” significant elements of that plan from, you guessed it, Donald Trump. Both plans are packed full of bad ideas that have been proposed a thousand times by a thousand other politicians, so the plagiarism claim seems more trollish than truthy. The problem with both economic plans isn’t that they’re plagiarized, it’s that they ARE economic […]

KNAPP/SCHLOSBERG: Time to drop Hamilton’s economics

The July 3 premiere of Hamilton on streaming service Disney+ marked the end of a five-year wait for audiences who hadn’t seen the hit musical on stage. Alexander Hamilton’s rivals in Hamilton concede that he “doesn’t get enough credit for all the credit he gave us.” To the contrary, as Voltairine de Cleyre noted a century ago, Hamilton “devised a financial system of which we are the unlucky heritors,” an economic order designed “to puzzle the people and make public […]

Visiting Europe’s great libraries

As we've had to postpone our travels because of the pandemic, I believe a weekly dose of travel dreaming can be good medicine. Here's a reminder of the fun that awaits us in Europe at the other end of this crisis. For travelers with an interest in the evolution of Western culture, a stop at one of Europe's grand libraries is an unforgettable experience. Many of them offer the chance to connect with books and documents that changed the course […]

KNAPP: “Second wave” of COVID-19 or not, no more lockdowns

Here we go again: Fear of a “second wave” of COVID-19 infections is on a world tour. Naturally, the same “experts” who demanded a global lockdown in response to the “first wave” are saddling up for an encore. Their logic, faulty the first time around, is even more so the second. We shouldn’t, even for a moment, set aside the hideous and lethal immorality of placing hundreds of millions of human beings under de facto house arrest without accusing, let […]

KNAPP: Morbidly obtuse: Pelosi and the media versus hydroxychloroquine

When US President Donald Trump mentioned that he’s taking hydroxychloroquine, he immediately got an extra dose of flak from both the mainstream media and noted medical experts such as US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Trump has been using the drug prophylactically versus COVID-19 — which he’s likely been exposed to via a personal valet — with the concurrence of his physician. Pelosi chided Trump for taking “something that has not been approved by the scientists” (it has been) and worried that he’s at […]
