Money-Supply Growth Hit a 23-Month High, and the Fed Wants More

2024-10-18

by

2024-10-18

The days of slowing and falling money supply growth rates are over. Money-supply growth accelerated, year over year, in August by the largest amount in 23 months, and August was the third month in four months that the money supply has grown, year over year. The current trend in money-supply growth suggests a significant turnaround from more than a year of historically large contractions in the money supply that occurred throughout much of 2023 and...

No Central Bank Wants to Stop Price Inflation

2024-10-18

by

2024-10-18

Many citizens want more government control of the economy to curb rising prices. It is the worst strategy imaginable. Interventionist governments never reduce consumer prices because they benefit from inflation, dissolving their political spending commitments in a constantly depreciated currency. Inflation is the perfect hidden tax. The government makes the currency less valuable by issuing more units of fiat money, partially dissolves its debt in...

2024-10-18

by

2024-10-18

Kamala Harris has suggested that, if elected, her administration would “pass the first ever federal ban on price gouging on food.” She has also stated that she would undertake several interventions into the healthcare industry, including a promise to “cap the cost of insulin at $35 for all Americans.”These proposals represent nothing other than the promise to institute price-fixing on groceries and aspects of healthcare. To end so-called “price...

Nagel on Libertarianism and Other Things

2024-10-18

by

2024-10-18

The philosopher Thomas Nagel can always be relied on for thought-provoking arguments, and in what follows, I’m going to discuss several that are relevant to libertarianism. These arguments are to be found in Nagel’s book Equality and Partiality (Oxford, 1991).Nagel takes for granted the existence of the state, but his arguments can be adapted to an anarcho-capitalist society as well, though that is not a task I’ll pursue here. In any decent...

Who Starts Business Cycles? Banks or the Fed?

Do banks receive deposits and then loan some of that money out? Or do they first extend loans that turn into deposits in the banking system?Some critics of Austrian economics and, most recently, of the Mises Institute’s new documentary, Playing with Fire, say that anyone who discusses the former is not up-to-date on modern banking practices.Mike Shedlock at Mishtalk attempted to refute statements made by Joseph Salerno and me about fractional...

2024-10-18

Austrian Business Cycle Theory tells us that recessions are an indication an economy is healing. Booms created by government printing presses and fiscal interventions will be cleansed by downward reset of asset prices and labor misappropriation will be righted by rising unemployment. Murray Rothbard wrote in America’s Great Depression, “The adjustment process consists in rapid liquidation of the wasteful investments. Some of these will be abandoned...

Answering the Confused Critics of Austrian Economics

by

2024-10-18

Richard Duncan recently appeared on the podcast Wealth Formula to discuss the Austrian school of economics. Despite being only 42 minutes long, the episode is packed full of errors and fallacies. What makes the discussion relevant for Austro-libertarians is not that these two non-Austrians know nothing about Austrian economics, but that their uninformed critiques are characteristic of the kind of simplistic descriptions of Austrian thought that we...

So here we are again.I remember watching, nineteen years ago, as Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and surrounding areas. I remember donating bags full of supplies to an organization that was collecting them in New York City and taking them to the stricken areas. I remember hearing about people who lived in those areas coming together, getting organized, and doing whatever they could to help each other – and I remember hearing about FEMA...
