Quoting ⁦Marcus M. Witcher⁩: “It's great to celebrate the publication of our edited collection at the 60th anniversary of the Philadelphia Society.”

“A new generation of Africans (Wade labels them the Cheetah Generation) are rejecting socialism and embracing entrepreneurship and markets as the path to human flourishing.” ~Marcus M. Witcher Read here: aier.org/article/breaki….

My co-author, Rachel Ferguson was on Vivek Ramaswamy's podcast discussing some of the insights from our book Black Liberation Through the Marketplace.

It was great to present Tanner Corley and my paper on black jitney drivers in the American South at the Classical Liberals of the Carolinas conference this afternoon. What a wonderful organization and such great scholars.

Classical liberals aren’t famous for their anti-racism, but maybe they should be. Rachel Ferguson and Marcus M. Witcher lead off our 🆕 #LibertyMatters series at the OLL: ow.ly/VmXn50T7UHZ #AntiRacism #Abolitionists #AmericanFounding#Economics

It was great to be on The Bookmonger podcast with John J. Miller to discuss Rose Lane Says. It's a collection of her op-eds at the Pittsburgh Courier in which she applied libertarian principles to the problems faced by black Americans. I edited it with David T. Beito.

It's very cool to be quoted at length in this NPR article. On the one hand I'm happy that economic historians are in demand, on the other hand I wish it were to discuss pro growth policies rather than Trump's misguided tariffs. npr.org/2025/03/06/nx-…

While there are some vague similarities, Trump partisans and apologists need to leave Reagan out of their discussions. There's no way Reagan would have endorsed or condoned Trump, as Marcus M. Witcher and I argue in today's Civitas Outlook. civitasinstitute.org/research/reaga…

Thanks to Ben Jones at the History 605 Podcast for having David T. Beito and me on to discuss Rose Wilder Lane's political evolution, her columns at the Pittsburgh Courier, and how her ideas are still important today. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sea…

In Civitas Outlook my American Institute for Economic Research colleague Dave Hebert and Marcus M. Witcher explain why Ronald Reagan's approach to #trade is not the same as Donald Trump's: civitasinstitute.org/research/reaga…

.Marcus M. Witcher and I recorded a segment for John Batchelor's Eye on the World on CBS News, which should be out soon. Our topic: Was Reagan a protectionist, was the VER a good idea, and how do Reagan and Trump compare? The answers are "absolutely not; no but it was the best he
