Theft in Any Language
An essay argues theft harms all, showing how small personal losses can escalate prices. It cites a Wall Street Journal item about a shipping clerk fired for mailing a personal package at company expense. The arbitrator ruled theft is defined by the act, not its value, a principled stance the piece supports.

Keynesianism in retreat and the shift in economic theory
George F. Will reflects on how Democratic economists once clung to Keynes and his General Theory, but wartime success, postwar policy, and evolving views have eroded Keynesian dominance. He notes figures like Samuelson and Boulding as early adopters, while warning that the era of Keynesian as a unifying creed has passed amid inflation and recession.
