Commentary
A couple weeks ago, The Economist ran a sad editorial that read like the end of an era. It was about the cause of free markets and how they seem doomed in today’s world. Governments are on the march. The cause of free trade is on the back foot. Freedom and rights seem like slogans of the past. We’re faced with massive economic stresses stemming from policy overreach and now even war. Brutality is on the march.
