I turned 72 in February. I want to make a few comments on the history of the American Right, while I still have my wits about me. I have spent my life on the fringes of academia. I earned a Ph.D., but I never went into full-time teaching. Well, not quite never. In the fall […]

Are things getting better? Are things getting worse? This question still divides the American Right. On the moral front, things are getting worse. On the economic front, things are getting better. It is true that median family income, adjusted for price inflation, slowed dramatically, beginning around 1974. But in the crucial areas of information and […]

Paul Ryan was a flake from day one. Now he has proven it. He has joined with Patty Murray (Democrat) to propose the scrapping of the sequester. Obama says he will sign the deal. I guess so! Here is what USA Today announced. For Paul Ryan, budget deal may be a career turning point. I […]

It took me from 1973 until 2012 to complete my 31-volume set, An Economic Commentary on the Bible. That was the homework assignment. Now I have to begin putting the pieces together. I want to write a large book that is comparable to Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations or Ludwig von Mises’ Human Action. But […]

Sen. Harry Reid is crying great crocodile tears for House Speaker John “TARP” Boehner. He says that Boehner is dealing with Anarchists: Tea Party members. “As I said on the floor today, the anarchists are winning. Anything that can be done to slow down, hurt or get rid of government any way, that’s good. Shutting […]

Tea Party groups are organizing a national rally to protest the IRS’s invasive tactics against conservative organizations. An interactive map of where the meetings will be held is here. This has been great publicity for the Tea Party movement. It is likely to grow. Here is why this is important. Bureaucracies fear three things, and […]

Gary North’s Reality Check I wrote a critique of Leftist commentator James Howard Kuntsler, who praises local government action to make it illegal to open a Walmart store or any other “big box” store, as he calls them. You can read my critique here: http://www.garynorth.com/public/10717.cfm Kunstler has coined a phrase to describe Tea Party supporters: […]

The 2011 budget bill established automatic spending cuts. These will begin on March 1 unless Congress and the President agree on a way to kick the can and run up the on-budget deficit. The whole thing is a charade. The cuts are always cuts in the expected increase in spending, not actual reductions in today’s […]

Jim Wallis is the most terminally naïve public figure I have seen over the last 45 years. Nobody else comes close. Every year, he gets invited to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. It is the annual meeting of the richest and most powerful people on earth. Why do they invite Wallis? Wallis is […]

Gary North’s Reality Check (Jan. 3, 2013) This evening, Ron Paul will no longer be a member of Congress. It has happened before. At the end of this day in January 1977 he was no longer a member of Congress. He had lost by 268 votes out of over 180,000. At the end of this […]
