Stay Home and Read This! - A Coronavirus Reading Sampler (April 9, 2020)


We are offering our top 10 selections, probably daily, of the best articles and podcasts on COVID-19 and American policy responses.

Overall our reading leads us to think there ARE and SHOULD BE "libertarians in a pandemic," and that indeed non-libertarian policies are what make responses to the pandemic inadequate.

1) Unlinked news item:  

A friend of the owner of American Libertarian told us years ago that When Rose Law Firm attorney and First Lady of Arkansas Hillary Clinton broke the glass ceiling at Walmart by becoming their first female member of the board of directors, she became the tie-breaking vote to end their "Buy America" policy.

So the coronavirus pandemic is really her fault.
