A Beautiful Private Bridge
Reason magazine
|August - September 2025
FOR MY 80TH birthday, my wife Lou offered to plan a trip somewhere I'd always wanted to go. I chose the Millau Viaduct—Europe's highest and most wonderful bridge.
I used a photo of the viaduct on the cover of my 2018 book, Rethinking America's Highways, because it is a superb example of a major highway project as a business enterprise. There were no government subsidies involved in the 1,125-foot-high bridge, which spans the gorge valley of the River Tarn near Millau in southern France. It was financed and is operated and maintained based on toll revenue, exemplifying key ideas in the book.

A Nostalgic Read for Foreign Policy Elites
IF YOU WERE looking for a human avatar of America's unipolar moment, you couldn't do better than Michael McFaul. Picture a youthful, energetic McFaul with a newly minted Ph.D. bounding into the suddenly post-Soviet space of the early 1990s, full of bright ideas about democracy and faith in the end of history. As McFaul himself puts it, 1991 \"was a glorious moment to be a democratic, liberal, capitalist, multilateralist, and American....I was treated like a rockstar.\"

MAHA Mandates Food Labels
BURDENSOME FOOD LABELING mandates were once the province of Democrats, who pushed for calorie count requirements on restaurant menus and insisted packaged food must feature warnings about genet- ically modified ingredients and trans fats. Now it's Republicans leading the charge- with equally foolish results.

A Taste of Capitalism in Warsaw
WARSAW, POLAND, IS a living museum of economic systems. It's a city where concrete reliefs of stoic factory workers decorate a building that now houses a Kentucky Fried Chicken, where a Soviet-era apartment block stands beside a glass tower filled with coworking spaces.

Robert Crumb's Roving Art and Life
IN THE SPRING of 1962, an 18-year-old Robert Crumb was beaned in the forehead by a solid glass ashtray. His mother, Bea, had hurled it at his father, Chuck, who ducked. Robert was bloodied and dazed, once again a silent and enraged witness to his family's chaos.”
