		<title>The Root of the Problem</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cornell applied mathematics professor Steven Strogatz takes readers on a pleasant trip to the square root of -1. Elementary stuff, but enjoyable nonetheless. Numbers may be carefully fixed concepts, but their relationship to one another is metaphorical, even when one doesn&#8217;t realize that a metaphor is governing thought. The real numbers are part of a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Weekend With Douglass Adair</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last weekend I got around to reading The Intellectual Origins of Jeffersonian Democracy by Douglass Adair. The book began as his doctoral dissertation in 1943 and went unpublished until 2000, 32 years after Adair took his own life. Not many Ph.D. papers are of wide interest so long after they were written, but Adair&#8217;s was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Right Young Things</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My article in the current Young American Revolution mag is now online here; it&#8217;s a look at Frank Chodorov, his 50-year project, and the young Right. You can get a subscription to YAR by donating $50 or more to Young Americans for Liberty &#8212; a very good cause.

		<title>Anti-Interventionism in American Literature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The introduction and a bit near the end seem to be lost, but even an imperfect capture of Bill Kauffman on the subject of American writers against the warfare state is well worth a listen.

		<title>Origins of the Corporate State</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mention below, Ralph Nader is not altogether wrong about what the doctrine of corporate personhood has led to. As Felix Morley explains, abuse of the Fourteenth Amendment to nationalize rights, for corporations as well as individuals, enabled the federal government to extend its powers tremendously, first in the name of laissez faire and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Carl Oglesby Was Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The tail end of last week was a busy time for TAC staff. Thursday, which was also the first day of CPAC, was our print date. I made it to the conclave just long enough to emcee Thomas DiLorenzo&#8217;s talk, &#8220;Lincoln on Liberty: Friend or Foe?&#8221;, before hotfooting it back to the office for a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Politics and the NBA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s an irony worth pointing out in the story of the &#8220;Net Book Agreement,&#8221; which sounds like it ought to be something dealing with e-books but was actually a pact between British publishers and booksellers agreed to in 1899. The NBA specified that shops should sell books for prices set by the publishers; any discounting [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hazlitt, Buckley, Mises, Rand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Long-time readers of the Tory Anarchist will remember this post from two years back in which I called attention to a colorful anecdote involving Ludwig von Mises and Ayn Rand in William F. Buckley Jr.&#8217;s memoir of the Goldwater era, Flying High. It sounded almost too scripted to be true, and a reader wondered whether [...]]]></description>

		<title>Macmillan&#8217;s War on E-Books</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The best analysis I&#8217;ve seen of the clash between Macmillan and Amazon over setting the prices for e-books comes from Paul Carr at TechCrunch. He provides some necessary publishing-industry background:

In the UK, way back in 1900, publishers corralled retailers into the  Net Book Agreement (NBA); an agreement between British publishers and booksellers that books [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The great Thomist scholar and author of the Father Dowling books died Jan. 29. His passing has been little noted in the American press, but the Scotstman has an excellent obituary here.
