On Thursday I had the chance to be a guest on The Glenn Beck Program to talk about the French Elections. We addressed questions regarding the persona of Marine Le Pen, the chances of Macron winning and similarities with what is happening in the United States. You can check out the audio down below:
De franséischen Dilemma
Dëse Beitrag ass de Script vu mengem Fräie Mikro, deen den 27. Abrëll um Radio 100,7 iwwerdroe gouf. Nolauschtere kann een den 100,7 Beitrag hei. Jee nodeem wéieng Zeitung ee liest ass d’Resultat vum zweeten Tour am Frankräich elo scho bekannt: Den Emmanuel Macron gewënnt haushéich well de Front républicain, also déi etabléiert Parteien, sech zesumme gedoen […]
Understanding Opportunity Costs might just Solve the Fight with your Neighbour
I first encountered the idea of opportunity costs when I read Frédéric Bastiat’s “That Which is Seen, and That Which is Not Seen”(1), an absolute must read for all students for economics or law. Bastiat brilliantly dismantles the idea of what he calls “The Broken Window Fallacy”(2): the idea that the destruction of a window […]
Young Voices Podcast #51: Marine Le Pen & the European Faux-Right
I had the pleasure to talk to Stephen Kent from the Young Voices podcast about the rise of the far-right in Europe and the results of the first-round vote in the French presidential election. One of the topics was the “European populists aren’t conservative, they’re faux-right” op-ed I co-authored with Young Voices executive director Casey […]
Les conclusions à tirer du nouveau rapport de l’OCDE sur le marché pharmaceutique
Mi-janvier l’OCDE a publié un rapport intitulé « New Health Technologies : Managing Access, Value and Sustainability », qui analyse les régulations pratiquées dans le domaine de l’innovation pharmaceutique. Ce rapport est tout à fait opportun quand il s’agit d’identifier les problèmes liés à l’intervention de l’État. Cependant, il ne parvient pas à en tirer les conclusions appropriées.
De Réckbléck vun der Woch [16/2017]
Heiansdo sinn Nouvellen zu Lëtzebuerg ze kleng fir ee ganzen Artikel driwwer ze schreiwen, dofir hei de Réckbléck vun dëser Woch. De Réckbléck vun dëser Woch ass méi kuerz well ech momentan an der Examenszäit op menger Uni sinn. Donieft ass nach Vakanz am Land. Wien d’lescht Woch verpasst huet, dee fënnt se hei.
5 choses productives que vous pouvez faire demain au lieu d’aller voter
1. Lisez un livre Après que cette classe politique vous a lavé le cerveau avec leurs platitudes politiques pendant des semaines, redonnez du sens à votre philosophie personnelle en vous consacrant à une lecture qui vous rafraîchira.

France’s Tobacco Regulation is Propping up a Dangerous Black Market
This article was first published by the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE). When asked how expensive a pack of cigarettes should be in order to reduce the general consumption of tobacco, French presidential candidate Emmanuel Macron responded, “I believe that €10 is an adequate price. I am ready for that.”
Dear American Conservatives: Wilders and Le Pen aren’t your Allies
This article was written together with Young Voices executive director Casey Given. The original was published in the Washington Examiner. At first glance, conservatives might view the rise of Europe’s far-right like a refreshing counterbalance to years of socialism run amok. In truth, these reactionary parties endorse eerily similar economic policies as the left-wing they […]
