Parents and educators know how challenging it is to break down intricate economic ideas for kids. Heck, that’s why I wrote the first Tuttle Twins book to begin with. I couldn’t find any resources to help teach my kids these important concepts in a way that wouldn’t make them fall asleep. Our books cover important works by everyone from Nobel Prize winning economist Friedrich von Hayek, to celebrity psychologist Jordan Peterson, and everyone in between! To be fair, a lot of adults even struggle to understand F. A. Hayek’s work, so I’m extra proud of the job we’ve done with this episode of the Tuttle Twins cartoon. Inspired by the wisdom of Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, we explore what happens when a handful of people think they know what’s best for everyone else. (Spoiler: more often than not, their supposedly well-meaning plans result in a cascade of problems no one saw coming.) This

Kinda funny being called hateful/bigoted/phobic/etc for expressing opinions that were emphatically mainstream just five years ago. And by funny, of course I mean it’s asinine. There was a time not too long ago when common sense ideas and opinions were pretty much the norm. Now, anyone who dares to express a perspective or a belief that goes against the new orthodoxy is met with accusations of bigotry or hate speech. What’s happening is nothing less than a concerted effort to silence dissent and control the narrative, and the folks doing it don’t seem to care about how antithetical it is to the principles of a free society. Maybe that’s the point. Prince Harry recently made headlines by calling the 1st Amendment “bonkers,” but he’s got it all wrong. What’s bonkers is the idea that politicians and bureaucrats should be the arbiter of what speech is appropriate. It’s not just the

Happy birthday to Karl Marx, the father of communism and hero to totalitarians and villains the world over! Let’s take a look at Karl’s legacy: Marx believed in a socialist society where the state owned the means of production, and everything was distributed equally among the people. Not surprisingly, regimes that follow Marxist ideology have suppressed dissent, brutalized their citizens, and caused millions of deaths. It’s almost like people have free will, and don’t go willingly along with the so-called “equal” distribution of the fruits of their time, talents, and labor. Crazy. Under Stalin’s rule in the Soviet Union, millions of people were sent to labor camps where they were subjected to torture, starvation, and death. The Gulag system was infamous for its inhumane treatment of prisoners, where forced labor and extreme conditions resulted in the deaths of scores of innocents. In addition to the labor camps, Stalin’s policies of
