“The economic incentives provided by private competitive markets where people are left free to make their own choices make bountiful feasts possible.” ~ Benjamin Powell

Tyler Cowen Is Wrong About Great Barrington Declaration on Lockdown Policies

“Lockdowns are being re-imposed across Europe, and we’re in increasing danger of seeing them re-imposed in parts of the United States. Ironically, if policy makers heed the advice in the Great Barrington Declaration, which Tyler disagrees with, then the lockdowns would be behind us.” ~ Benjamin Powell

For Better Health and a Stronger Economy, Don’t Lock Down Again

“Instead of following Europe into a second round of lockdowns, the United States should follow the advice of the top scientists and medical experts who have signed the Great Barrington Declaration. They advise avoiding lockdowns and focusing instead on protecting the most vulnerable, letting the disease spread among the young and healthy to build population immunity.” ~ Benjamin Powell

United States Needs Freedom, Not Fascism
