Allegation: The New York Times bestseller list is rigged to favor ‘liberal’ titles
The terms ‘liberal’ and ‘conservative’ have almost no meanings. “Conservative” can sometimes designate ideas which challenge the state; while at other times the term means the precise opposite.

Hope for Denmark: Danes Seeking to Throw Off Government Shackles
Throughout the 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s the people of Denmark were the most capitalistic on earth. Their merchants sailed the seas and transacted in goods throughout Europe and the rest of the world. The people of Denmark (and Scandanavia generally) became the richest on earth. That foundation of wealth sustained them throughout the 1900s. But …

Only 19 percent of wage gains from minimum wage increases go to families in poverty
Trusters of government often claim that government-imposed minimum wages help the poor. But research has shown that minimum wage laws harm the poor by completely locking them out of the bottom rungs of the economy.
