Last Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the unemployment rate had jumped to 4.3% in July. The pace at which unemployment is rising matches the speed often found in the early stages of a recession — an indicator known as the Sahm Rule. The triggering of the Sahm Rule sparked a panic in the stock market that only grew at the start of this week after other economies, especially in East Asia, experienced even sharper downturns.Many...

But if the rule of law does not mean obeying whatever legislators enact, what does it mean?Murray Rothbard argued that this question must be answered by reference to ethical guidelines, which he constructed around the concepts of self-ownership and property rights....

Kamala’s press chief tried to censor me

Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris is not missing any chance to condemn Republicans for threatening to censor libraries and school textbooks. But she is overlooking the heavy-handed record of her chief spokesperson, Brian Fallon.

Europe has had trouble balancing its relatively large number of spending commitments with lackluster economic growth. The European economy remained basically stagnant in 2023, compared to 2.5% growth in the United States. Economic subsidies, a large welfare state, and a new push to increase defense spending means that all but four EU members are left with budget deficits in 2023. While having a deficit is not abnormal amongst developed countries,...

For nearly two centuries the United States has been an expansionist power.

The first two decades of the 20th century marked America’s transition — for better or worse — into a global superpower.By the end of the First World War, the United States had solidified itself...

Why is the price of gold rising if the global economy is not in recession and inflation is allegedly under control? This is a question often heard in investment circles, and I will try to answer it.We must begin by clarifying the question. It is true that inflation is slowly decreasing, but we cannot say that it is under control. Let us remember that the latest CPI data in the United States was 3% annualized and that in the eurozone it is 2.6%,...
