New Mexico's Economic Freedom Think Tank

Week in and week out, Paul Gessing and the Rio Grande Foundation do incredibly important work.  Paul's blog at ErrorsOfEnchantment chronicles the fallacies that dominate establishment thinking on political economy in New Mexico and the nation as a whole.  Check out the link in his Thanksgiving message for a great example.  It details the failure of early socialism in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Paul's efforts will help us relearn the truth of that first Thanksgiving -- that the way to raise people out of poverty and even stave off starvation is to institute property rights and a free market -- and to help us remember to pass that truth on to our children and grandchildren.
