Finley: America’s hate crime surge is a hoax
It’s been repeated so often it’s taken as fact: Hate crimes have soared over the past two years, and the blame rests with President Donald Trump and supporters inspired by his hateful rhetoric. It’s a compelling story, supported by statistics that show an increase of 17% in the number of hate crimes reported to the FBI during the Trump presidency. But it isn’t true. The surge has little to do with Trump and his red hat brigade. This according to Will Reilly, a Kentucky State University associate professor, who extensively researched hate-fueled violence in America for his book Hate Crime Hoax. “Almost all of that surge is due to the simple fact that in 2017 the number of police departments reporting hate crimes to the FBI increased by 1,000,” says Reilly. “The surge narrative is pretty dishonest.”

Elizabeth Warren's Antitrust Crusade: A New Progressive War on Wealth
In their war on "monopolies," Progressives like Elizabeth Warren show they don't understand the history of anti-monopoly legislation, and they also don't understand that modern day "monopolies" aren't really monopolies at all.
Wilsonianism: The Legacy that Won't Die
Woodrow Wilson's moralistic obsession with shaping the international world to his utopian ideals continues to shape (in a bad way) American politics to this day.
Free Trade: A Key to a Rising Standard of Living

Finally, philosophers have spoken out on how to solve Brexit
Almost three years since Britain voted for Brexit, there’s still no clear solution on how to actually make it happen. A deal wrangled by Theresa May, no deal, and a second referendum have all been rejected by Parliament and the country is, quite frankly, a mess. Perhaps what we need is some serious brains detangling the problem. To that end, the Institute of Art and Ideas (IAI) recently invited 10 philosophers to reveal their answer to Brexit.
