In a single horrifying night in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921, nearly 40 square blocks were burned to the ground, nearly 300 people died, and at least 9,000 African Americans were left homeless. The dead, however, will not be forgotten.

Anti-pesticide activism has facilitated disastrous infestations of African crops.If the campaigns against chemicals and the demonization of modern agriculture are successful, recent gains in food abundance and safety may well be reversed.
This week, our hero is the 18th century Italian criminologist Cesare Beccaria. Beccaria was the first modern writer to advocate for the abolition of capital punishment and the end of cruel torturous punishments. Beccaria believed that penalties for crimes should be proportional to the severity of the offense and that criminals should not be punished until proven guilty in a court of law. Many consider Beccaria to be the father of criminal justice. Thanks to his work, many nations were inspired to enact extensive legislative reforms to ensure due process, and the end of torture and capital punishment.

Is Free Market Economics Too "Ideological"?
Free market economics is often ignorantly dismissed for being "ideological" rather than scientific. It probably sounds smart to the economically illiterate, but it is decidedly not. It doesn't mean nearly what most people assume it does. The word "free" in free market economics is not used as a normative value judgment but indicates an economy that is unaffected by exogenous (from the outside) factors. "Free" therefore means that it is the market economy in and by itself that is subject to theoretical analysis. This is, in fact, the only way to identify any and all "pure" market mechanisms and processes.

Macron ‘broke the nuclear taboo’: Poland rebuffs France’s play for European independence from US
French President Emmanuel Macron sees his country’s nuclear arsenal as a military key to political leadership in the European Union, according to U.S. and European officials.... Berlin's hesitance to yield to Paris the kind of political leadership that would come with dependence on a French nuclear umbrella might undercut Macron's attempt to establish a new "strategic culture" in Europe. "The German establishment is quite divided in responding to the reality that in the EU, France is today after Brexit the only nuclear power," NATO Deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoana said during a recent Washington Examiner interview. "I think there is a long, long way between having these capabilities and eventually offering them. But when it comes to NATO, I think the U.S. nuclear deterrence is the only active policy."
