The Climate Changes Back – What Comes Next?

Last year’s El Nino phenomenon temporarily provided succor to climate alarmists, who were increasingly bothered by the “Great Pause” – the fact that the tiny amount of warming experienced since the last cooling cycle ended in the late 1970s had apparently stopped. Despite trace amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere continuing to climb, mother nature decided to disobey alarmist models and temperatures went sideways for about 20 years (or even longer,...

Smart Programs of Capital Destruction

These days everything must be smart. There are smart cities, smart grids, smart policies, smart TVs, smart cars, smart phones, smart watches, smart shoes, and smart glasses.

We’ll no longer have to think; smart algorithms will think for us. What’s more, the possibilities for not thinking are...

Wie die SNB durch Kapitalsteuern die Schweizer Wirtschaft belastet

Vor dem Hintergrund eines angeblich „schwachen Wirtschaftswachstums“ rechtfertigte SNB-Chef Thomas Jordan neulich in einem Interview in der Tagespresse die SNB-Negativzinsen und bezeichnete diese als „expansiv“. Nur: Sind Negativzinsen wirklich „expansiv“? Sind diese nicht viel eher „restriktiv“ und bremsen unsere Wirtschaft – bewirken also genau das Gegenteil von dem, was die SNB behauptet?

US True Money Supply Growth Jumps, Part 1: A Shift in Liabilities

The growth rates of various “Austrian” measures of the US money supply (such as TMS-2 and money AMS) have accelerated significantly in recent months. That is quite surprising, as the Fed hasn’t been engaged in QE for quite some time and year-on-year growth in commercial bank credit has actually slowed down rather than accelerating of late. The only exception to this is mortgage lending growth – at least until recently. Growth in mortgage loans is...

Praxeologi, den österrikiska skolans grundval – med Ola Nevander | #092 Radio Mises

Ludwig von Mises-Institutet i Sverige: http://www.mises.se Nyligen höll Ola Nevander ett föredrag hos FMSF om praxeologi. Det som särskiljer den österrikiska ekonomiska skolan från andra synsätt är dess fundament och metod.

Attaining Self-Destruct Velocity

Some Monday mornings are better than others. Others are worse than some. For one Amazon employee, this past Monday morning was particularly bad. No doubt, the poor fellow would have been better off he’d called in sick to work. Such a simple decision would have saved him from extreme agony. But, unfortunately, he showed up at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters and put on a public and painful display of madness.

Prof. David Dürr mot staten | #091 Radio Mises

Ludwig von Mises-Institutet i Sverige: http://www.mises.se Klassiska liberaler menar att allt kan privatiseras utom juridiken. Juridikprofessor David Dürr från universitetet i Zürich menar tvärtom att juridiken är det första som bör privatiseras, eftersom det är roten till alla monopol.

Fidel Castro and the American Empire

The death of the brutal Cuban Communist dictator Fidel Castro closes the door, in some respect, on another disastrous page in US foreign policy history. For all the denunciations and criticism of Castro from conservative elements and exiled Cubans, his despotic rule was the outcome of decades of American imperialism which began with President William McKinley’s infamous decision to wage war on hapless Spain in 1898.
