Over the weekend, the House of Representatives passed four foreign aid bills that will allocate a combined $95 billion to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and other “national security priorities.” House Republicans followed Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) lead and joined with Democrats to deliver all the foreign aid President Joe Biden wanted without requiring much of anything in return.The passage came after House Republicans had handed the president...

Anarchy, State and Utopia: Robustly against Redistributive Taxation for 50 Years
Robert Nozick’s classic of political philosophy Anarchy, State, and Utopia turns fifty this year. His blasting of the redistribution of wealth shook academia to its core in 1974, and its intellectual tremors are arguably still being felt to this day. Nevertheless, Nozick’s arguments are clearly lost in the “real world”; high taxes and high benefits still run amuck. Indeed, even in the heyday of neoliberalism—the 1980s—Margaret Thatcher often...

Conservatives Are Wrong on Economics. Here’s How to Fix the Problem.
Argentinian president Javier Milei didn’t settle for advocating free market ideals to the cronyist elite attendees at the World Economic Forum. He also delivered a remarkable speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference, reaffirming his commitment to Austrian economics and libertarian theory. He critiqued neoclassical models, quoted economists like Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard, and exposed flaws in socialist economic...

The FBI and CIA Are Enemies of the American People
Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson sat down for a three-hour-plus discussion on the Joe Rogan Show last week, covering everything from UFOs, to religion and artificial intelligence. But perhaps the most important topic they covered was the insidious and dangerous role played by the US regime's intelligence agencies in America. Specifically, Carlson suggested the CIA continues to lobby for keeping the JFK files secret, possibly because the CIA had a role...

Final Nail in America’s Coffin?
When future historians go searching for the final nail in the US coffin, they may well settle on the date April 20, 2024.On that day Congress passed legislation to fund two and a half wars, hand what’s left of our privacy over to the CIA and NSA, and give the US president the power to shut down whatever part of the Internet he disagrees with.The nearly $100 billion grossly misnamed “National Security Supplemental” guarantees that Ukrainians will...

The UK Is Reverting to Railway Socialism
Transport for the North, a collection of the Northern Transport Authorities and some business leaders, will be calling for Avanti West Coast’s rail franchise to be stripped from it after continued disruption to services that sometimes leads to journeys lasting hours longer than they should, which, as you can imagine, leads to rather a lot of disgruntled and angry train users. They want the railway to be taken under control of the government on a...

Countering the Neoconservative Defense of the British Empire
One of the worst novels of the nineteenth century, aesthetically and politically, is Julius Vogel’s Anno Domini 2000 (1889). It is stylistically absurd because the author was a statesman with no literary prowess. It is appalling politically because it envisions a future in which the British Empire survives into the second millennium. It remains in print to this day.Vogel’s novel is relevant because it challenges recent scholarly attempts to portray...

Can There Be Justice Outside of the State? Yes
People tend to think of a fair justice system as one of the cornerstones of a free and flourishing society. Yet most of us are resigned to the idea that it can only be delivered at the hands of the state. Rather than just accepting the status quo, perhaps we should question whether states are appropriate administrators of justice at all, and instead consider whether a state-free or libertarian approach to justice could work.The word “justice” comes...

On Immanuel Kant’s 300th birthday: Kant’s Epistemology and Its Influence on Ludwig von Mises’s Praxeology
300 years ago, on April 22, 1724, the German philosopher Immanuel Kant was born in Königsberg, East Prussia. He is not only an outstanding historical figure in philosophy, but Kant’s profound influence continues to shape modern philosophical discourse, resonating strongly even today.While Galileo Galilei and Issac Newton undoubtedly made significant contributions to their respective fields, their theories have long been surpassed by the theory of...

We Need to Do with the State What We Have Done to Slavery
This article is based on chapter 8 of my 2020 book, Do Not Consent: Think OUTSIDE the Voting Booth.If someone asked you to define “free market,” could you? Could you do it on the spot without recourse to dictionaries or other crutches?The term “laissez-faire economy” might do as a first response. But what does it mean? In Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, Ayn Rand explains,Based on a column in the Los Angeles Times, August 1962.Colbert, chief adviser...
