We can learn a thing or two from the past, especially in modern-day foreign policy. Jeffrey Schulman wrote a fantastic article on the tensions growing with China's recent show of force throughout the Pacific. It's an insightful piece that targets Ancient Athen's aggression mirroring China's in recent years.

David B. McGarry is a policy analyst at the Taxpayers Protection Alliance and a Freedom Conservatism signatory. A National Journalism Center graduate and Young Voices contributor, McGarry has written extensively on a wide range of topics related to technology, government accountability, and consumer choice. He has reported on tech policy and telecommunications, particularly at the Federal Communications Commission and on Capitol Hill, for such publications as RealClearPolicy, Techdirt, Reason, and National Review. In a recent essay for American Institute for Economic Research - AIER, McGarry described the “dual regime of robust tariffs and domestic manufacturing subsidies” sought by many populists and their left-wing allies. Most job losses in traditional manufacturing are the result of technological change or domestic competition, not trade, he pointed out. And in distressed communities where “civil society has atrophied,” no amount of “tariff or subsidy can resurrect a shuttered church or an abandoned bowling league. Their revival must include something more than economic reform.” “Lawmakers can do much to help the American worker find well-paying, dignified, stable, and fulfilling work,” McGarry concluded. “But policies that squander human ingenuity and labor — the most valuable economic resource there is — will produce nothing good.” You can learn more about McGarry and other #FreeCon signatories here: https://lnkd.in/ene2-gjF
