“Paper or Plastic?” How One Market Intervention Requires Another to “Correct” the Original One
The phrase “Paper or plastic?” became part of the language after states and localities, beginning near the mid-2010s, began banning single-use plastic bags. San Francisco was the first US city to ban plastic bags completely, passing an ordinance in 2007. But elsewhere before that, Bangladesh had become the first country in the world to ban plastic bags in 2002, because thin bags there were clogging drains and causing floods.In 2014, California—with...

Can the State be Justified?
One of the tremendous benefits of praxeology is that it highlights not just the dynamic, purposive, and speculative nature of economics, but also the economic nature of all human action. For example, this allows us to analyze all institutions, including the state, from an economic perspective and determine whether they are value-productive or not.Economic Justification for the StateSay’s Law states that, in a laissez-faire system in which life,...

The US Is as Close as Ever to Saudi Arabia, 23 Years after 9-11
The legacy of 9-11 is full of misinformation and misguided policy initiatives. Rather than taking seriously the motives of the hijackers and their supporters, American politicians went head first into creating a massive surveillance state and growing the American presence overseas. What is worse is that not all of the masterminds are identified by Washington. While we know firmly that actors with connection to the Saudi General Intelligence...

It’s Also “Disinformation” When Our Government Does It
In recent weeks, there have been a series of stories about the government cracking down on foreign agents allegedly working to influence the 2024 election. First, the intelligence community linked the Iranian government to a hacking of Trump campaign documents. Then the federal government seized several websites it claims were linked to a Russian campaign to circulate disinformation—meaning deliberately spread false information.The biggest story...

The First Steps Toward a Liberty Platform
Last weekend several hundred of us gathered in Washington, DC, at the Ron Paul Institute conference to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty and our opposition to constant US government assaults on that liberty. Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existing for all...

In Defense of Milei
While the majority of libertarians have looked with favor at Milei’s entry into politics and his measures as President, this view has not been embraced by all. Oscar Grau, for example, has written some critical articles analyzing Milei’s domestic and foreign policies. With regards to the former, Grau has argued that Milei’s approach is interventionist, squeezing the private sector under the banner of a rhetorical adherence to freedom and free...

The Stewards of History Desperately Need Mises
The word “archivist” likely conjures images of a meek librarian surrounded by dusty shelves, old boxes, and brittle paper. Alternatively, conflation with “archeologist” might summon mental replays of Raiders of the Lost Ark. But archivists are not a fedora-wearing, pistol-packing, whip-wielding bunch. While lacking pistols or whips, however, archivists surprisingly accept and promote dangerous and intolerant collectivist ideology—some to the point...

The ABCT and Life Sciences Real Estate
The malinvestments generated by the government’s response to COVID continue to be revealed with time and higher interest rates. What seemed like a good idea at the time—with low interest rates and the threat of a future of mutating viruses—was the building of life-sciences buildings. Paul Cwik writes in his new book Austrian Business Cycle An Introduction, “Entrepreneurs engage in ventures that are built upon the temporary stimulative credit...

The Folly of Criminalizing “Hate”
Many people were shocked when over 1,000 protesters were arrested in the UK and jailed for various offenses including “violent disorder” and stirring up racial hatred. Most shocking were the cases of those arrested for posting social media comments on the riots, despite not being present at the scene and there being no evidence that anybody who joined in the riots had read any of their comments.In societies which uphold the value of individual...

The Woke Plot To Destroy Our Economy
“Woke” people claim that they want to wake up racial and sexual minorities to the way they are being discriminated against. Because of past and present exploitation, blacks and other “protected” groups are not getting what rightfully belongs to them. The solution to this is that the better off, especially if they are white, should have their wealth and income seized and given to those they are exploiting.The woke position rests on a fundamental...

The Top Five Lessons for the Young Economist
The Mises Institute is taking back economics education. In public schools, students learn that FDR’s New Deal and World War II got the US out of the Great Depression. They learn that total government control over an economy has its downsides, but so does pure laissez-faire, so the best system is a mixed economy with government intervention. The role of the entrepreneur is minimized or even completely ignored while the role of the state is...
