| Dear Readers,
This month, our authors tackle everything from FDA reform and California’s wildfire crisis to Argentina’s national identity, NATO’s future, and the overlooked economics of affordable housing.
In the final two installments of Raymond J. March’s series on Unleash Prosperity’s report on FDA reform, he examines the legacy of Operation Warp Speed and what lies ahead for the agency.
Daniel Sánchez-Piñol examines why California remains at severe wildfire risk despite the reforms enacted after the devastating 2025 fires.
Alvaro Vargas Llosa reflects on Argentina’s toxic sports culture, the damage it inflicts on the nation, and why the country must rediscover the dignity that once defined its golden age.
Ivan Eland makes the case for a managed, two-year U.S. withdrawal from the Cold War-era NATO alliance, arguing that it has become burdened by persistent free-rider problems.
And finally, Scott Beyer explains how housing’s natural aging process—known as “filtering”—can expand the supply of affordable homes, and how restrictive policies often prevent it from working as intended.
Enjoy.
