Every now and then, pro-regime historians and pundits create lists of America’s “greatest” presidents. Not by accident, these lists include the presidents who are the most anti-market and warmongering. Warren Harding is an example of a president who fell victim to this deranged idea of “greatness.” His fate shows the need to always counter the regime’s historical narrative.

Meanwhile Europe is making history in a bad way by falling into a new cycle of stagnation thanks to Europe’s rapid turn away from market freedom.
