This year brought an abundance of good books, and I use the word “abundance” under advisement. After 2025, I can say with no fear of contradiction that I am fully up to speed on the topic. As a conservative, my reaction to these abundance books from liberals is akin to that of Bruce Willis’s John McClane in Die Hard when he shouts out of a shattered window at the patrolman down below in Nakatomi Plaza: “Welcome to the party, pal.”

Conservatives have been complaining for years about the oppressive nature of regulations and lawsuits and the way they make it hard for Americans to build anything, let alone compete with the rising Chinese threat. Why does the subject only gain attention when liberals recognize that it’s a problem?
