The War on Poverty

According to Milton Friedman

The war on poverty of which so much has been made since then has been a very good thing indeed for many thousands of civil servants who have been able to make excellent careers and many thousands of academic people who have been able to do study after study on poverty.

From Friedman on Galbraith

Opeds about Redistribution and Obamacare

I published three opeds in the Wall Street Journal, but do not reproduce them here in real time to be consistent with WSJ's copyright. Here are some shortcuts to ungated versions:

• “The Myth of Obamacare’s Affordability.”  Wall Street Journal.  September 9, 2014.  Page A17.
• “A Recovery Stymied by Redistribution.”  Wall Street Journal.  June 30, 2014.  Page A11.
• “How Obamacare Wrecks the Work Ethic.”  Wall Street Journal.  October 3, 2013.  Page A13.
