Destroying Creative Destruction: Volkswagen, Germany, and the Will to Power
“Bureaucratic sclerosis displays its own cycles of creative destruction.” ~Paul Schwennesen
Hurricanes and Other Evil Winds
“Extreme headlines fit a generally understood narrative and are far more likely to be absorbed by the public. This selective attention pushes a bias toward extremism in climate reporting that significantly inflames the political climate.” ~Paul Schwennesen
Emergent Order in Inner Space
“In other words, the hand is invisible not because it is deftly hiding in the shadows, but because it isn’t there at all.” ~Paul Schwennesen
The Manure Lobby: Farmer Fury in Europe
“When a motivated and adequately organized group combines to concentrate its lobbying power on government, it generates foreseeable incentives for the ruling legislatures.” ~Paul Schwennesen
Milei’s Bid for Freedom
“Rather than simply bemoan the poor policies of Peronist statism, Milei laid out precisely why the alternative to statism — liberated markets — can offer so much more.” ~Paul Schwennesen
Is DEI Collapsing?
“The pervasive cloud of weird, semi-threatening tension which swirls around a modern faculty corridor does a disservice to a long and venerable academic tradition.” ~Paul Schwennesen
The Gramscian March Trips Up
“The strategy aimed at shaping collective consciousness seems to have backfired, as the population, witnessing the institutional embrace of socialist ideologies, lost faith in the very institutions ostensibly meant to guide them.” ~Paul Schwennesen

“We live in an era dominated by the doctrine of prior restraint, the notion that all actions (individual or corporate) should be forestalled until approved by an appropriate authority. It is an ugly inversion of a bedrock principle of a free society.’ ~Paul Schwennesen
When Progressives and Conservatives Compete, Agnostics Win
“While progressives and conservatives duel in the arena of certainties and are willing to place individual liberties on hold in support of their social ambitions, agnostics navigate an ever-shifting political landscape with a compass turned always toward the polestar of individual liberty.” ~Paul
After Veterans Day
“One would be hard-pressed to defend a military action in recent decades that has had a demonstrably immediate connection to protecting our way of life.” ~Paul Schwennesen
