ekamai Thai Curry: Get your curry fix

More than fifty years after Ayn Rand argued that government could tear an economy apart by trying to “do good,” her hallmark novel Atlas Shrugged is coming to at theater near you. Some think it’s not a minute too soon. “Being conversant in Ayn Rand’s classic novel about the economic carnage caused by big government […]
