While the nature and use of power by some over others in human affairs has been analyzed and debated for millennia, confusion, discord, and conflict remain commonplace in international and domestic affairs. This is evident in the U.S.’s post-9/11 pursuit of preemptive, international interventionism and domestic surveillance, pork, protectionism, and corporate welfare. What is the nature of such power, and what are its effects regarding individual liberty, war and peace, the rule of law, and economic and social welfare? As part of its series of special, public-policy web sites, The Independent Institute has created OnPower.org, a one-stop Internet resource featuring a bibliographic compendium of both scholarly and popular works and commentary on the domestic and international effects of national “crises,” including preventative, interventionist wars around the world to create a U.S. empire.

As part of a new series of special, public-policy web sites, The Independent Institute has launched FDAReview.org as an extensive, peer-reviewed, Internet resource of critical research and publications on the policies and history of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Written and edited by Independent Institute Research Fellow Daniel B. Klein (Associate Professor of Economics, Santa Clara University) and Alexander Tabarrok (Research Director, The Independent Institute), FDAReview.org includes a detailed history of federal regulation from 1902 to the present, information on the drug development and approval process, an evaluation of the costs and benefits of FDA policy, a review and evaluation of the major plans for FDA reform, a glossary, comments from economists who have studied the FDA, a bibliography with many webbed links (including many links to JSTOR for those with access) and, much more!
