Political Theory

Bush is vastly increasing arts funding. Why? Hans Frank suspects a political agenda.

Claes Ryn’s thoughtful book might have been written as a brilliant counter to An End to Evil, reviewed elsewhere in this issue. The book exactly diagnoses the cast of mind on display in that blueprint for perpetual war.

The Bush administration’s invasion of Iraq provides one further confirmation, if any were needed, of Randolph Bourne’s dictum, "war is the health of the state." 

Roberta Modugno’s excellent book is a fundamental contribution to  our understanding of the history of classical liberalism. She complicates in a remarkable way an argument advanced by Friedrich Hayek.

Mises, in his great 1944 work on national socialism, examines the ideology of Nazi anti-Semitism and its inextricable link to anti-capitalism.

Anyone who has spent any time on college campuses knows that most college faculty members are left-leaning and likely vote Democrat, if not Green or Socialist. So when a study recently found 91 percent of the UNLV faculty is liberal, it was not exactly earth-shattering news. Although the study's finding — that UNLV is slightly more liberal than even UC Berkeley — does give one pause.

Fed up with betrayals by the GOP? Perhaps its big-government policies are not a betrayal after all, write Robert Ekelund and Mark Thornton.
