Dead Wrong with Johan Norberg – Sweatshops (Video)
The clothes we wear condemn millions to a life of working in a sweatshop in countries like Cambodia and Bangladesh. It’s embarrassing that we walk around in fancy clothes made by poor people who work long hours for little money. We should all be ashamed, shouldn’t we?

From the Founder: Seeing is Believing from Bob Chitester
Seeing is believing.
Scenes of polar bears on melting ice floes. Beggars on the street—a church’s soup kitchen closed because of government regulations. An interior designer is put out of business for lack of a state-issued license. She has few options left to her.
For most people these slice-of-life vignettes are more persuasive than mounds of data. Image and story are more likely to change beliefs and prompt individuals to act.
Adam Smith on the High Seas by Barbara Potter
I wake up at 3:20 a.m. and I don’t remember where I am. It’s pitch dark and I hear a steady hum somewhere far below my room. As I reach for my iPhone, it comes back to me: I’m in a ten-by-twelve foot cabin on the F Deck of the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller, the largest container ship in the world. We’re at dock.There’s no telephone, no television, and no wifi, only an orange glow visible through the window. It’s night one of a four-night voyage from Algeciras, Spain to Rotterdam, and our video crew is onboard to get a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of this mammoth ship.

India Awakes: Now Available on Free To Choose.TV
India Awakes is now available for immediate streaming on Free To Choose.TV
India is coming alive and flourishing economically. In fact, Citigroup estimates that by 2050, India will have the world’s largest economy, larger than China and the United States. For many centuries, only the politically connected and elite prospered in India, while the rest of the population lived in poverty. However, since 1991, 250 million people have been lifted out of poverty and are finding new ways to flex their personal and economic power. India Awakes reveals the enormous power of unlocking human potential and ambition, and how doing so could establish this country as a preeminent world leader.
Economics at the Center of Arab Spring Ground Zero by Roger Brown
In early 2011, the Arab Spring quickly ignited in Tunisia, and within weeks its fires had spread to almost every nation in the Arab World. As massive demonstrations and conflicts ignited in city after city, Peruvian economist Hernando de Soto realized that he was witnessing what was perhaps the most important event of his lifetime. One question dominated his thoughts: Exactly why would the suicide-by-fire of Mohamed Bouazizi, and insignificant fruit peddler in a dusty backwater Tunisian town, resonate so strongly that the reaction would topple four governments?
He immediately sent a research team to Tunisia and other North African countries to find out. Institute for Liberty and Democracy (ILD) researchers worked in the streets and souks of North Africa for months. To their great surprise, they learned that there had been dozens of similar suicides by small entrepreneurs and businessmen across the region.
