From last year’s sudden shortages of baby formula to the Jones Act and President Lyndon Johnson’s infamous “Chicken War,” host Eric Boehm sits down with industry experts and libertarian policy wonks to explore how these counterproductive rules got made – and explain why they can be so difficult to undo.

Josh also shares a story from when he was 10-years-old and how his Dad tried to hook up with his own cousin. Needless to say, it wasn’t Coeburn, Virginia’s finest moment. This Is Why We Can…

But the humble tin can is both a crucial component of modern, globe-spanning supply chains and a product of them: About half of the metal used to make tin cans in the U.S. is impo…

The brief trade war between the U.S. and Europe in the early 1960s might seem hardly worth remembering—and it pales in comparison to the political and cultural upheaval that defined that decade. But any American who has bought a pickup truck in the past 50 years has been collateral damage in that conflict—a conflict that started because European fa…

Arkansas has some of the strangest liquor laws in the country—or at least the most politically contentious. Unlike a lot of other places, the state allows counties to hold referendums to decide whether they will allow the retail sale of alcohol. That is, whether they will be "wet" or "dry." And when those elections take place, it's often existing l…

From his second-floor office overlooking the harbor in Norwalk, Connecticut, Bob Kunkel can see Long Island looming over the horizon to the south. It's only about 10 miles away, straight across the blue waters of the Long Island Sound.
