One of the most insulting media/​political narratives this year has to be the claim that free-market policies are anti-women, anti-poor, anti-minority, etc. in both effect and intent.

Of course the reality is just the opposite. Former Catoite Carrie Lukas (*née* Lips) and Sabrina Schaeffer (close relation) have a short new [book](http://www.amazon.com/Liberty-No-War-Women-ebook/dp/B00978M5ZY/ref=tmm_kin_title_0) that lays out the details … great prep for the Thanksgiving family debate season coming up.
