Truth and Reconciliation: Be Careful What You Wish For

An early mentor once warned me, “If the public knew the truth, the markets would be cut in half.” Decades later the stock market has soared tenfold, but so has the deceit.We have a new administration coming in with a central promise of “truth.” Trump has placed what some call “radicals” in charge of key agencies and departments. The good news: this bold strategy may be the only way to cut through the noise to find the truth. The challenge: the...

The Technological Revolution

The technological revolution—spearheaded by advances in robotics and generative artificial intelligence (AI)—is poised to reshape industries, redefine job roles, and challenge traditional labor markets. While the disruptive potential of these innovations raises concerns about widespread job displacement, the evidence suggests a more nuanced reality: these technologies can complement human labor, create new job opportunities, and enhance...

Robert Paul Wolff on Anarchism

The death last month of the philosopher Robert Paul Wolff is a fitting occasion to call to the attention of libertarians, and particularly libertarian anarchists, his short book In Defense of Anarchism, originally published in 1970 and issued in a revised edition in 1976. In the book, Wolff argues that the state is illegitimate.To understand his argument, we first need to know what he means by a state. He holds that “the state is a group of persons...

Using Your Tax Dollars to Support Terrorists and Nazis

This is not a joke. This is not hyperbole. This is not clever framing and not a fringe conspiracy. This is a verifiable reality that many Americans do not know, but ought to know, especially as they cheer on US foreign policy actions that morally undermine everything America stands for.World War II and 9/11 are often given as decisive and conclusive historical examples that justify US foreign policy: We had to fight the Nazis and we had to fight...

Happy Worst President’s Day

A 64-year-old woman with deep family roots in Alabama recently said to me that she was taught in Alabama public school that Abraham Lincoln was “the best president ever.” That would be a good example of the consequences of what the New England Yankee conquerors labeled “reconstruction.” The truth is that Lincoln was by far the worst president in American history. He was certainly the most “reviled” (by the people of the North during his lifetime),...

Might Does Not Make Right: A Libertarian Perspective

The common phrase “Might does not make right” resonates as a universal principle as it neatly relates the idea that being powerful does not inherently make one’s actions just. Most people intuitively agree with this concept. Indeed, suggesting otherwise would likely provoke suspicion and, if acted upon, condemnation. A person who justifies their actions solely on their power or strength would be seen as a bad actor and avoided by others.Yet this...

The Effect of Westward Expansion on US Citizenship

Yesterday in Mises Wire I looked at how citizenship in the United States was originally determined by the member states themselves. There was no definition of citizenship in either the original US constitution (i.e., the Articles of Confederation) on in the later 1787 constitution. Thus, the way to “US citizenship,” to the degree that it existed at all, was to become a citizen of one of the US’s member states.A problem with this situation quickly...
