by Michael Rectenwald Instead of approaching the free market abstractly, in this short series, I’ll approach it from the standpoint of my own experience. In short, I’ll treat the free market in an autoethnographic account. Autoethnography is just what the word suggests: it is a genre of ethnographic ...Read More...

by Michael Rectenwald The usual criticisms of critical race theory (CRT) have become patent and cliché by now. CRT essentializes race and those within races, figuring all white people as racist and all black people oppressed. It treats people not as individuals with individual motives and goals ...Read More...

by Michael Rectenwald Perhaps the most pressing matter today for advocates of freedom is the prospect of the Left completing the institution of a totalitarian state. There is no other way to read the multiprong approach and the political maneuverings that political operatives are taking to rule ...Read More...

by Michael Rectenwald Several months ago, I debated Thaddeus Russell on The Tom Woods Show.

Here, I want to flesh out some of the points ...Read More...

by Michael Rectenwald To date, no major political party in the United States has issued a coherent, principled policy on immigration.

by Michael Rectenwald The former employee's battle against the Massachusetts based school is a sign of the times and, hopefully, of things to come. It’s long past time this pernicious ideology got the scrutiny and repudiation it so richly deserves. After over a year of combating Critical Race ...Read More...

by Michael Rectenwald The Great Reset is on everyone’s mind – or should be. It can be blamed for woke madness, cancel culture, Covid lockdowns, Antifa/BLM riots, Big Tech censorship, and the endless propaganda coming out of mainstream media. There’s a Tibetan Buddhist practice called “lojong” (mind-training) ...Read More...
