A new economic movement is building with the Democratic party. The Biden Administration is pushing for a progressive version of supply-side economics, and it could rewrite liberal policy-making for years to come.

Florida's anti-LGBT legislation has received much criticism already, but one group has been overlooked in the discourse. The children of LGBT parents will be significantly harmed by this proposal, and their concerns need to be taken into account.

Changing zoning policy would improve the housing market dramatically. The classic American dream always includes a picturesque suburban home with a big yard on a quiet street.

A currency driven by political idealism more than economic reality, the Euro has severe, structural issues that threaten Europe's economy and politics. The time is now to abandon this ineffective monetary union. The Eurozone, a monetary union between 19 member states within the European Union, represents the largest shared economic region on the globe.
