The courses contained in this category are designed to give the student an understanding that making words mean things is a path to victory in the struggle of ideas. Too often, words and phrases have been bastardized by the left thus creating confusion among a vast number of people.
- Those who manage to persuade others to use the words they wish used have enormous power; they define the debate. They can almost determine the outcome of a discussion before it begins. This is fine, as long as the words are used exactly and honestly. But often people use this power to smuggle in meanings and thus stack the debating deck. -- David R. Henderson, a research fellow with the Hoover Institution and an economics professor at the Graduate School of Business and Public Policy at the Naval Postgraduate School. He is the editor of The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics (Liberty Fund, 2008).
