Fall of the Wall 30th Anniversary
It's the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Wall. I participated on a panel at Hillsdale College discussing this momentous and wonderful event. I covered the history of the wall, and had two conclusions:
1. Socialism cannot work.
2. We should never become despondent. The end of Soviet socialism was not foreseen, but unforeseen contingencies have a way of making themselves known.
