The glass-smooth lake smelled like most central-Florida lakes at night — pungent with the odors of fish and decaying vegetation. The air vibratedwith the bellowing and chirping of frogs. “Jack caught a twelve-pounder right there on his first cast one night last year,” my father said, indicating a slightly darker patch among the shadows.

This freedom to trade inadvertently transforms mankind into a global supercomputer where private sector companies are always engaged in the process of economic competition, which motivates companies to innovate and copy the innovations of competitors.

Power door locks, power steering, anti-lock brakes, and countless other automotive innovations originated in…

Picture this: You are driving home from work, or maybe you are sitting in the living room with your family on a humid spring afternoon. The sky suddenly takes on a strange, bruised green color. The wind stops, and an eerie silence settles in. Then, the distant wail of a warning siren cuts through the quiet. When a tornado is imminent, there is no room for guesswork.
