Éric Lombard, France’s Minister of Economy and Finance, makes a negative impression almost every day with his statements on the economy and the role of the state in society. These positions are a perfect reflection of the gulf between the French political class, defenders of socialist statism, and a world that is following a completely opposite path: one of freedom, economic liberalization, eager to reduce the weight of the state in the life of...

Congress Needs to Be Jealous of its Tariff Powers
On February 10, President Trump announced a 25 percent tariff on all steel and aluminum imports. Legally, Trump is within his rights to do so, as Congress gave the President the power to set tariffs. However, the Constitution of the United States places the power to impose tariffs in the hands of the Legislative Branch. The President’s capricious application of tariffs demonstrates why Congress needs to guard this authority more jealously.Yet,...

It’s always extremely refreshing talking to Godfrey, because his questions cut through the noise and concentrate on what is actually important. I find his views and arguments are also...

President Joe Biden’s Decision to Posthumously Pardon Marcus Garvey
President Joe Biden’s decision to posthumously pardon Marcus Garvey has been met with widespread acclaim in the United States and across the global black diaspora. Garvey is revered as an iconic black nationalist and Pan-Africanist thinker, celebrated for his vision of racial uplift and economic self-sufficiency. However, his legacy is far more complex than the hagiographic portrayals suggest. Rather than echoing the usual fawning sentiments, this...

Private Business and State Power in an Age of Bailouts, Censorship, and Easy Money
The Misesian: Unfortunately, we live in an age of a “mixed economy” and “regulated capitalism.” This means that the private sector and the government sector are mixed together, and it’s not always clear where the state ends and the private sector begins. How can we determine if a private company is a true partner of the state— truly benefiting from state power—or if the private company is really a victim of the state?Robert P. Murphy: Let me say at...

The Misesian, vol. 2, no. 1, 2025
On the night of the Boston Tea Party in 1773, American insurrectionists donned disguises and destroyed a shipment of tea imported by the East India Company. The protestors boarded privately owned ships in the harbor and threw the tea overboard. Later that night, the activists discovered another tea shipment that had been unloaded at a warehouse. Not content with having destroyed most of the company’s import, they broke into the warehouse and...

The Fed, With No Earnings, Is Taking Us on a Magic Carpet Trip
Most Americans realize that our federal government has, in recent decades, spent so recklessly that it runs ever-increasing annual federal budget deficits (currently nearly $2 trillion) and now sits on over $36 trillion in outstanding federal debt. This spending—overseen by Congress and the Executive branch—has been profligate since the 1960s Great Society, wars in Vietnam and the Middle East, the 2008-09 financial crisis, the ongoing Obamacare...

The United States Needs a Spending Chainsaw
The latest figures published by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are staggering. $75 billion saved in two weeks. Some of the items they have slashed are astonishing, including payments to transgender musicals in Ireland, DEI in Serbia, or decolonization of curriculum vitae. This is a two-week result, so it should be applauded. However, there is a lot more that needs to be done.The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the...
