Over three thousand years ago, the Prophet Daniel predicted a time when there would be a great increase of knowledge and travel (see Daniel 12:4). It has been estimated that from the beginning of recorded history, it took the composite knowledge of mankind over five thousand years to double. Then it doubled again in about a century. The increase of knowledge continued to accelerate until now it is estimated that it is doubling at the astonishing rate of every two years. 

         As the speed of increasing knowledge accelerated, travel went from the speed of a...

         The last two centuries have witnessed an unprecedented increase of knowledge, and the rate of this increase is accelerating at an almost incomprehensible speed.

     The Free Market thrives on freedom. The more it has the better it does. People thrive in freedom.

Mankind was created to be free, and as we are told in II Corinthians 3:17, “where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

     Marxism is the antithesis of freedom, and the source of the greatest oppression and slavery mankind has ever experienced. Under Marxism, the state is god and dictates...

         The freedom released by the birth of the American Republic resulted in such a burst of initiative, advancing technology, and wealth creation that other nations were compelled to allow their citizens increasing economic freedom. This resulted in other freedoms, and soon other republics were formed, which resulted in a new age of liberty and unprecedented progress. 

         For all of the spectacular benefits of the emerging free market, this was unexplored territory. Pioneers have rarely found the best course through new territory without making mistakes, and it was the same for the...
