Free Markets Accomplish Progressives' Housing Ideals

The State Can't Protect the Environment – Markets Can
We should encourage a vast array of experiments about how best to reconcile (indeed integrate) environmental concerns with economic ones. Unfortunately, mainstream ­­economists of the progressive era became enamored of making economics a quantitative “science” and forgot the role of institutions.

The institutions necessary to allow environmental market transactions to solve the problems were simply not allowed to evolve.

Russian-Turkish Trade War Imminent? Moscow-Ankara Friendship Slips on Tomatoes
Turkey is reported to have stopped the issuance of licenses for the duty-free import of Russian wheat, corn, and other agricultural goods, thus introducing a 130% tariff for wheat in one of Russia's largest export markets.
