Murray Rothbard was the chief architect of modern anarcho-capitalism, an uncompromising vision of a stateless society rooted in private property and voluntary association. He built upon classical liberal thought, particularly the ideas of John Locke and the individualist anarchism of 19th-century thinkers like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker. However, unlike his predecessors, Murray fused these ideas with the Austrian School of economics,...

Closing Signs Are Signs of the Times
It was not long ago when signs for “Help Wanted” seemed to be in every store window. That is starting to be replaced in 2024 and 2025 with “Store Closing” signs. This switcheroo tells us volumes about how people and the economy are adjusting to the Fed’s money printing business. While the government and the wealthy elite benefit from the money printing, consumers and workers only seem to suffer.I do feel sorry for the rank-and-file workers in the...

Tariffs Also Tax Capital, Not Just Consumption
In a recent column, Paul Craig Roberts wrote that tariffs not only made international trade possible, but that they were merely a tax on consumption and were neutral elsewhere—and should be much-preferred to income taxes. He wrote:Trump sees tariffs in a different way than indoctrinated free-market economists. Tariffs don’t prevent trade. They ensure that countries have something with which to trade. Moreover, tariffs are a tax on consumption, not...

Too Obvious to See?
The Trump-Musk assassination troops going through the federal bureaucracy will eventually arrive at an oddball entity called the Federal Reserve. It is and isn’t many things, which if confusion is your sport, is part of its charm.It is an “inflation fighter” whose main purpose is creating inflation. On rare occasions a Fed member or even the Chairman will state in plain language what the Federal Reserve does—“print money”—but most people seem to...

Empire as the Price of Bureaucracy
William F. Buckley, Jr. wrote in 1952, “We have to accept Big Government for the duration [of the Cold War]—for neither an offensive nor a defensive war can be waged . . . except through the instrument of a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores.” Since, the conservative establishment has sacrificed the nation at the altar of defeating the latest boogeyman abroad. They have accepted bureaucracy in place of markets, technocracy in place of...

The comments came days after the Atlanta Fed announced it now projects GDP to fall by nearly three percent in the first quarter of this year.Those developments, paired with the recent stock market decline set off by the market’s reaction to Trump’s tariff plans, have many political opponents...

Are Economic Progress and Cultural Values Mutually Exclusive?
Economic progress is sometimes seen as inimical to the bonds of “family, faith, and flag” that many people value. Many place such a high priority on their way of life within their own neighborhoods or communities, that losing their traditional cultural values in exchange for economic progress may not be a price they would wish to pay. This is poignantly expressed by John Slaughter, in his article “How Does it Profit the South,” as “a tinge of...
