WELCOME Dear Readers: I hope that you are enjoying the warmer weather and have found time to relax after what was surely a busy spring semester. Among the articles in this edition is a fascinating commentary on the (even greater) backlog of surgeries that has formed as a consequence of a combination of the recent pandemic and government policy, and an in-depth book review of the Fraser Institute’s newest addition to the Essential Scholar series: The Essential Joseph Schumpeter. This edition also features articles by several of our student contributors. William Dunstan provides a commentary on the shortcomings of anti-price gouging laws, Brennan Sorge discusses the future of freedom in Hong Kong, and our newest student contributor, Nikki Wu, discusses our increasing public debt and the impact it will have on the average citizen. We are also highlighting a short video from our Essential Joseph Schumpeter book on one of that scholar’s most enduring ideas, creative destruction, along with a thought-provoking quote by the famous economist Ludwig Von Mises, and much more! Have a wonderful summer! Between your trips to the pool and the beach, don’t forget to check our Education Programs Facebook page to find out the latest on our fall webinars! Regards, Ryan
