The mail.(Letter to the Editor)
If I had started midway through the third paragraph of Karl Zinsmeister's "Europe Learns the Wrong Lessons" (October-December), I would have assumed that he was talking about the USA. "Unaccountable bureaucracies and elites commandeer the most important decisions, the same people hang onto power endlessly.... Policies that would not survive the test of popular opinion are simply instituted by administrative fiat" etc. The only thing missing from Zinsmeister's list is governance by unelected judges. I don't think we're in any position to criticize Europe.

I usually give away my copies of TAE after reading them, but October-December is too valuable. The graphs alone made the magazine worth keeping, and the articles were quite thought provoking. I'm keeping my original, ordering extra copies to hand out, and recommending that those folks consider subscribing. Thanks for an exceptional issue!

After reading the October-December issue, I feel as if I owe Europeans--and the French and Germans especially--an apology. For the past few years, I've felt like telling them to "go to hell." But now that I've read TAE's latest, I've concluded they don't need my encouragement; they've gone there all by themselves.
