The New-Age Racists

I contrast overt racial prejudice with the subtler condescension of those who deny cultural problems and assume minorities cannot succeed without special treatment.


The Council of Canadians Examined

I examine the Council of Canadians’ campaigns against trade and corporate power, questioning their evidence, moral assumptions, and claim to represent civil society.


Practice, Not Preach

In this Marketing Mastermind article, I examine corporate social responsibility and the distance between what businesses preach and how they actually behave.


Lithuania After Socialism

Drawing on my experiences in Lithuania before and after the Soviet collapse, I examine its transformation and the moral case for capitalism.


Racism, Old and New

I examine affirmative action, political correctness, and the assumption that discrimination qualifies as racism only when its victim is non-white.


Branding vs Value Creation

In this Marketing Mastermind article, I argue that genuine branding must arise from honest products, customer education, organisational values, and real value creation.


Come to Canada and Complain

I examine how some immigrants criticise Canada while idealising the countries they chose to leave, focusing on university tuition and public education.




Democracy of Pressure Groups

In this July 2003 report, I examine activist pressure groups, their hostility toward markets and profit, and the difference between genuine freedom and political pressure disguised as public interest.
