Workers Didn't Get the Weekend Because of Socialists. They Got It Because of Capitalism. Henry Ford gave his workers a 5-day week in 1926. Why? Rested workers were more productive. People with leisure time spent more money. Then, other companies followed. By 1938, when the government codified the 40-hour week, it was just catching up. Competition for labor and rising productivity did the work.

“The most dangerous institutions today are universities because they teach ideas that will lead to the destruction of the United States.” Ayn Rand said this in the 1960s… and it feels even more true today.

Someone in the audience asks Ayn Rand if she hates the poor—and her answer is far more interesting than the question.

Milton Friedman explains why you should prefer freedom over fairness. “Fairness” means someone else is deciding for you what is “fair.” “Freedom” means that YOU get to make that decision.

“Consumers don't produce inflation. Producers don't produce inflation. Inflation is produced only by too much government spending and too much government creation of money, and nothing else.” — Milton Friedman

This 19-minute documentary follows truck drivers and small traders trying to cross the border between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, one of the busiest trade routes in Africa, managed by up to 23 government agencies for a single crossing. Some drivers wait in line for three months. Every day stuck there still bills for the driver, fuel, lodging, food. That cost travels to the other side of the border absorbed into the final price, and the people absorbing the difference are the ones with the least margin to do so. Small traders often end up taking clandestine trails through the bush. The official system is so bureaucratic that dangerously remote routes become the better option. Watch it. Share it. This is a story the world needs to hear.
