2024-09-05

Conventional wisdom has it that the Federal Reserve system (the “Fed”) and the US Treasury Department are two separate entities.

“It says here in this history book that, luckily, the good guys have won every single time. What are the odds?” - ~Norm MacDonaldA segment of Tucker Carlson’s recent interview with Darryl Cooper is making the rounds on social media.

The accepted view is that World War II can be reduced to the good guys versus the bad guys and that Churchill is...

The first two—the threat to free speech and the danger of the war in Ukraine—are familiar to anyone following the daily political fights happening online and in the traditional media.But when Kennedy got to his third concern, it was...

Quarantine, lockdowns, social distancing—words I’m sure everyone reading never wants to hear again. Even several years removed, the pain inflicted by Covid-19 and subsequent policy reactions is still fresh in our collective consciousness.

The Regime’s War on Cash Could Destroy the Economy

by

2024-09-03

According to some “experts,” there is an urgent need to remove cash from the economy. It is held that cash provides support to the “shadow economy” and permits tax evasion. Another justification for its removal is that, in times of economic shocks, which push the economy into a recession, the run for cash exacerbates the downturn—it becomes a factor contributing to economic instability. Moreover, it is argued that, in the modern world, most...

2024-09-03

Ludwig von Mises was a champion of an ideal of liberty in an age of central planning and socialism. In his book Liberalism, the state is “the social apparatus of compulsion and coercion that induces people to abide by the rules of life in society,” and the function that Mises assigns to the state in the liberal doctrine is the protection of property, liberty, and peace. Then there is the law, which consists of the rules according to which the state...
