Rational Disagreement – by Thomas Sowell I even met my wife as a result of a disagreement. She read something of mine that she disagreed with and told a mutual friend. He in turn suggested that we get together for lunch and hash out our differences….Although we have now been married more than 20 years, we have still not completely settled our differences over that issue. But when we met our attention turned to other things. There are a lot of reasons to be able to have rational discussions about things on which people disagree. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4103

Economics for the citizen – part 3 by Walter Williams There are four classes of behavior that can be called economic behavior. They are: production, consumption, exchange and specialization. The discussion of specialization will be left to the next article. .. Whenever there's voluntary exchange, the only clear conclusion that a third party can make is that both parties, in their opinion, perceived themselves as better off as a result of the exchange; otherwise, they wouldn't have exchanged. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4093

Economics for the citizen – part 4 by Walter Williams Specialization is said to occur when people produce more of a commodity than they consume or plan to consume. …Specialization and trade make people dependent upon one another for their everyday wants. How many of us make our own eyeglasses, cars, houses, clothing and food? We get all those goods by specializing in what we do well, getting paid and trading with others for what they do well. Through specialization and trade -- we might call it "outsourcing" -- we enjoy goods as if we actually produced them. By the way, those who call for independence individually, regionally or nationally are asking us to be poorer. It makes no difference whether they're calling for energy independence, clothing independence or coffee independence. http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4094

Economics for the citizen – part 6 by Walter Williams It's crucial to recognize that it's relative prices that determine choices, not absolute prices.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=4096

What we should remember on Martin Luther King Day – Judge people by their character – not skin color No amount of rationalizing can disguise the fact that affirmative action involves implicit or explicit racial quotas, i.e., racism.  http://www.capmag.com/article.asp?ID=2399
