Can America Survive Global De-Dollarization?

2024-10-04

by

2024-10-04

“Money does not grow on trees” is an old expression of wisdom that seems to have been disregarded by 21st century American policymakers. People all over the world and throughout time base their decisions primarily through lived experience. The US dollar became the world’s reserve currency in the aftermath of World War II, which is now almost eighty years ago. There is virtually no one in power at the American government or in leading institutions...

America’s Wage Earners Are Being Crushed: The Breaking Point? | Dr. Lacy Hunt

2024-10-04

by

Sign up for my free newsletter here: https://www.mauldineconomics.com/go/JM563K/YTB Dr. Lacy Hunt says the US economy is in a “very precarious situation.” Inflation is coming down, but prices are not. New cars and homes cost about 20% more than they did before the pandemic and remain out of reach for people on the middle and lower rungs of the economic ladder. The high cost of food isn’t helping, either. Inflation hurts those who can least afford...

2024-10-04

For more than four years now, the Biden Administration has been insisting that the state of small business in America is better than it has ever been. This claim, however, is based on a single government statistic: the business applications metric published by the Census Bureau, which is a record of applications for an employer identification number (EIN).The Administration has repeatedly and enthusiastically promoted the surge in these new...

Sabrina Carpenter has been a star since she was 12, staring on Disney’s Girl Meets World. Now she’s a singer and, I’ve heard, she has broken records set by the Beatles. She’s recorded a catchy cover of Nancy Sinatra‘s 1965 hit “These Boots Are Made For Walking.”  ”I want to feel as confident as humanly possible so I can be up there and not worry about what I’m doing,” Carpenter says. “It helps me perform better.” She ended up donning custom...

Zu Mileis Verteidigung

by

2024-10-04

Während die Mehrheit der Libertären Mileis Eintritt in die Politik und seine Maßnahmen als Präsident mit Wohlwollen betrachtet, teilen nicht alle Libertären diese Ansicht. Oscar Grau zum Beispiel hat einige kritische Artikel[1] geschrieben, in denen er die Innen- und Außenpolitik von Milei analysiert. In Bezug auf Ersteres hat Grau argumentiert, dass Mileis Ansatz interventionistisch ist und den Privatsektor bei gleichzeitigem rhetorischem...

We Lose, They Lose: A Reagan-Trump Fusion

2024-10-04

by

2024-10-04

Donald Trump’s ascendancy in the Republican Party fissured the GOP. Increasingly alienated, the GOP’s neoconservative wing flocks more and more to the Democrats. To anyone who grew up accustomed to viewing Democrats as the peace party, a Democrat presidential candidate celebrating the endorsement of Dick Cheney is mind-bending. But while some in the GOP increasingly reject nation-building and democracy-promotion as pillars of foreign policy, others...

Those who scoff at the notion that nuclear war between the United States and Russia is an increasing possibility have an advantage in the argument. If they prove to be correct, they will be able to crow, “See, I told you worrywarts that there was nothing to be concerned about.

Why the Fed’s Two-Percent Inflation Target Is Meaningless

2024-10-03

by

2024-10-03

Federal Reserve technocrats like to use a variety of slogans and buzzwords designed to make the Federal Reserve look like it’s an apolitical, “scientific” institution guided only by a quest for sound management of the economy. Specifically, nearly every time Fed chairman Jerome Powell makes an appearance—whether it’s the usual FOMC press conference, or when testifying before Congress—Powell is careful to make mention of how the Fed is “data...

2024-10-03

Fundamentally, there are only two forms of economic and political organization—centralized or distributed. The distributed model is based upon the principle of subsidiarity, which is, “an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority.” Governments today are in the centralized category. By contrast, the free market—to the extent it was allowed to operate in the age of classical...

2024-10-03

by

2024-10-03

Labor unions are exempted from federal antitrust laws including the Sherman Antitrust Act, which outlaws “conspiracies in restraint of trade.” This is not a bad thing: Everyone should be exempted from antitrust laws. They are an assault on property rights and because their rulings are so arbitrary they are incompatible with justice and fairness. They are also a tool of rent-seeking businesses who practice “lawfare” by routinely suing their superior...
