Caleb Nunes is a student at Northwestern University where he studies chemical engineering. He is a columnist at The Daily Northwestern and has been featured in The College Contemporary and also in National Review, where we won the William F. Buckley Jr. Essay Contest. If he were to recommend two books every American should read, they would be Free to Choose by Milton Friedman and The Blank Slate by Steven Pinker.

The Truth About Systemic Racism
After the American Pravda detailed the fall of Ibram X. Kendi, even New York Times readers expressed their unvarnished opinions on Kendi-ism.
The Flat Tax
The greatest benefit to passing a flat tax is that it would effectively free those on the Right from the mundane topic of taxes.
Is All Growth Good?
Immigration is driving up the cost of living in the United States and decreasing the quality of life for natives.
From the Belly of the Beast
Protesters’ encampments on college campuses are worse than any outsider could imagine.
The Pseudo Intelligence of the Left
The Left takes counterintuitive — and often stupid — ideas and makes them socially prestigious by dedicating entire university departments to confirming them.
The Right’s Intelligence Problem
