How to Inoculate Students Against Their Socialist, Woke Professors

“You can never change the politicians until you change the people who elect them.” — H. L. (Bill) Richardson

For the past 40 years, I’ve been teaching sound, free-market economics at several major colleges and universities around the country, including Columbia Business School and now Chapman University.

I’m amazed at how much impact a professor can have on student attitudes when it comes to money, politics and culture.

In addition to teaching, I have also written several influential textbooks, including “Economic Logic,” a no-nonsense textbook on free-market economics, now in its fifth edition, and “The Making of Modern Economics,” now in its fourth edition, which offers devastating arguments against Keynesianism, Marxism and socialism.

Recent surveys have concluded that a majority of students prefer socialism over capitalism. That’s largely because campus professors have brainwashed them. They are critical of capitalism and complain about inequality, environmental damage, materialism, business fraud and even racism. They ignore all the good that businesses have done to create well-paying jobs, reduce poverty and enhance the community.

How to Counter the Anti-Capitalist Bias in Education

Many pro-market business leaders are fed up with college graduates who have a strong anti-capitalistic mentality when they are hired. Many parents are concerned, too.

What can we do about it? Ron Simon, a successful manufacturer in California and author of the book “Don’t Tell Me I Can’t,” is putting his money where his mouth is, and he has asked me and my wife to put together a one-week “Economics of Life” summer academy.

You Nailed It!

The Ultimate Underdog Story

If you haven’t heard, this year’s Kentucky Derby was the most exciting in memory. This was because a last-minute substitute horse, Rich Strike, struck gold when it came from way behind to win the greatest horse race in 100 years.

Rich Strike was substituted when another horse dropped out, and it became #21. Against 80-to-1 odds, it won the race.

Everyone was in shock, including the owners.

Here is the best view of the come-from-behind victory.

I like the name, Rich Strike. It reminds me of my penny mining stocks — hopefully they will go from last to first! 🙂
