Climate Worries Are Non-Credible, Luxury Beliefs That Harm Civilization Itself

I live in a small village at the edge of lands surrounded by very harsh nature. Those who occupied these valleys in ages past lived ruthlessly dangerous lives, where starvation was a constant worry, the sea just as often nurtured as it took away, and the winters were long and perilous. Nowadays, while I’m walking the desolate mountains or admiring the fierce storms from inside my nice, sheltered existence, echoing in my head is Thomas Hobbes’s...

Argentina: Mises and Milei, 65 Years Apart

Tariffs Are Taxes on Americans—But Protectionists Pretend Otherwise

During the 2016 and 2020 campaigns, Trump's opponents in the Democratic party (and elsewhere) often pointed out that Trump's protectionism hobbles private markets and the economy overall. Yet, the allegedly anti-protectionist Biden administration has done virtually nothing to end Trump's protectionists policies put in place from 2017 to 2020. The motivation is unclear, but it is possible that the Biden administration realized that protectionism is...

100-Percent Reserves banking in Argentina and the Real Bills Doctrine

My latest contribution to the debate on Milei´si banking reform and the 100% reserve ratio has received a response in form of a video by Juan Ramón Rallo who defends a fractional reserve banking system based on real bills. The video is mainly about the question of whether fractional reserve banking necessarily triggers an Austrian business cycle, given that fractional reserves allow banks to create new money (fiduciary media) and channel it into...
