Global per capita income has increased from a little less than $4,000 a year in 1966 to almost $17,500, in inflation-adjusted dollars at the present time. That represents a 372 percent increase in the average income of everyone on this planet in only 50 years.
The history of the Berlin Wall and the collectivist ideology behind it should remind us of how important a loss any of our freedoms can be.

Economist Richard Ebeling reflects on his life and career, learning from and being colleagues with many of the greats, from Rand to Hayek to Morgenstern to Rothbard.
