Included below this fine piece by Terence Corcoran in the Dec. 24 National Post, you’ll find brief recommendations for “Ten essential books on capitalism” including two by me. Blurbs, alas, not books. But it is an honour to recommend both Hazlitt and Friedman.

For the National Post’s “NP Platformed” I wrote about what politicians might contemplate in the light of the Star over Bethlehem… as might we all.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I ask what people see in the actual operations of government that inspires them to trust it to transform our economies, societies and characters for the better.

In my contribution to the National Post’s defence of capitalism, I say economic freedom is the victim of its own success, having delivered the promised prosperity but not the freedom from personal responsibility some misguided zealots thought it should, allowing them to rush us along the Road to Serfdom by blaming capitalism for not doing something it never attempted and never should have.

In my latest Epoch Times column I mock the “Karen meets Marley” tale of people buying themselves an $825 Chanel advent calendar then ranting against it online.

In my latest National Post column I say the great, and terrible, thing about capitalism is that what you find in stores is what we vote for with our dollars.

In my latest Epoch Times column I ask what Canada, Germany or anyone except perhaps the U.S. can actually do if Russia invades Ukraine, since they have armed forces and we don’t.

In my latest Loonie Politics column I mock the “experts say” meme reporters use to make liberal opinions sound like scientific fact.
