The U.S. House of Representatives recently demanded social media platform TikTok divest itself of its Chinese ownership. But the danger goes far beyond China’s antagonism towards the United States, writes Cole S. Aronson in the Jewish Review of Books.

Zinberg examines the real effects of clamping down on drug prices, which include fewer new life-saving products coming to market and an ever-larger federal bureaucracy stifling the pharmaceutical industry.
Rachel Lomasky ventures a thoughtful exploration of the future of artificial intelligence. Writing in Law & Liberty, Lomasky suggests AI’s trajectory is promising, with many benefits for creativity and productivity.
