The issue features a tribute to David Theroux (1949–2022), founder of the Independent Institute, who was a serious intellectual, an enterprising organizer, and an old-fashioned gentleman of the first order. His life was centered on the idea that mankind is made for self-government.

Also in this issue: The advantages of health care price transparency; Where the fascism of Mussolini’s Italy falls in the spectrum of political doctrines; In memoriam: Richard Stroup; Where do the poorest Americans stand in the income distribution among all people ever born?; and more!
