		<description><![CDATA[Jim Crawford&#8217;s autobiographical antinatalist manifesto Confessions of an Antinatalist contains an illuminating perspective on the idea of natural rights: Concurrent with our wish to understand the human condition through over-simplification is our tendency to ground human desire and behavior in &#8216;natural rights.&#8217; Such &#8216;rights&#8217; are often gleaned, reasonably, from empathic awareness of the human condition.

		<description><![CDATA[Most social &#8220;science&#8221;, and macroeconomic modeling in particular, suffers from serious epistemological and methodological problems.  In a recent article for Reason Peter Suderman discusses the questionable models that are used to evaluate the effects of the stimulus: According to the CBO&#8217;s estimates, depending on how the money is spent, one dollar of government spending can [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientific consensus seems a reasonable concept. If a great number of individual scientists arrive at a similar opinion this is generally a sufficient reason to have confidence in those views. Skeptics about scientific consensus often use examples of scientific views that started out as a minority view to become the majority view later. Although these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a recent review of two new Ayn Rand biographies Daniel J. Flynn makes the following observation: Ayn Rand’s midcentury novels continue to strike a chord because they read as though culled from today’s headlines. Here, Rand’s “looters” raid government coffers to bail out their poorly performing industries; there, Rand’s “moochers” demand that the “producers” [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In 1991 the Libertarian Alliance published an article called “Immortality: Liberty’s Final frontier” (PDF) by David Nicholas. In this article the author argues that “the continuing fact of death renders all talk of liberty ultimately futile.” The author further argues that our concern for the future will diminish as we approach death. But instead of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Significance and Basic Postulates of Economic Theory (1938) Terence W. Hutchison presents a logical-empiricist perspective on economic methodology and takes specific issue with Austrian economists who believe that economic theories cannot and should not be falsified through empirical testing. In the chapter &#8220;The Application of Pure Theory&#8221; Hutchison criticizes Carl Menger&#8217;s view of what [...]]]></description>
