A Man In Denmark Fleeing Persecution For Hurting a Politician's Feelings

By Jeff Berwick | May 19, 2015

[The following post is by TDV Chief-Editor, Jeff Berwick]

I was contacted today by a Dollar Vigilante subscriber with an urgent situation.

Surely hurting someone's feelings can't be illegal in Denmark, can it?  Yes, it is illegal to hurt the feelings of a "public servant" in Denmark!

By | May 10, 2015

270 million years ago, the supercontinent Pangea formed. 70 million years later, it began to break up. The above photo has been circulating around the internet. It's Pangea with the world's artificially constructed borders upon it. Of course, when Pangea existed there were no people, and so there were no borders.

Shaking The Shackles Of Collectivism: The Birth of Modernity

By Ed Bugos | May 7, 2015

[The following post is by TDV Senior Analyst, Ed Bugos]

Individualism is the ethic that, in the west, laid the foundation for massive industrialized societies to emerge from the economic principle of the division of labor… for the abandonment of slavery… and, ultimately, which raised so many people out of poverty.
