Egalitarian Interventionists: Why Politicians Love “Equality”

2025-02-28

by

2025-02-28

It is difficult to find a seemingly more unobjectionable term that “equality” is the modern West and America. Equality is often understood to be an unqualified good and part of the American creed: “all men are created equal.”The main reasons politicians love “equality” are because it is supposedly unquestionable in its obvious justice, slippery in definition, and unachievable. Consider the shifting definitions. “Equality” can mean equality before...

In his February 3 Executive Order, President Trump directed his minions to begin planning for establishment of a “Sovereign Wealth Fund” that he originally touted in a speech to the Economic Club of New York last September. The fund would be on the order of $2 trillion, investing in things like manufacturing hubs, defense, and medical research. The order states:It is the policy of the United States to maximize the stewardship of our national wealth...

Radical Reconstruction and State Omnipotence

2025-02-28

In his book Omnipotent Government, Ludwig von Mises traces the shift in Europe from individualism to state omnipotence, highlighting the disastrous effects of empowering government to run every aspect of social and economic life:Men now seem eager to vest all powers in governments, i.e., in the apparatus of social compulsion and coercion. They aim at totalitarianism, that is, conditions in which all human affairs are managed by governments. They...

Jean-Baptiste Say: Neglected Champion of Laissez-Faire

2025-02-28

by

2025-02-28

Beyond some rudimentary facts, very little is available in English about the life of J.B. Say.  He was born in Lyons, France, to middle-class Huguenot parents, and spent most of his early years in Geneva and London. As a young man, he returned to France in the employ of a life insurance company, and soon became an influential member of a group of strongly pro-free- market intellectuals.  Indeed, Say was the first editor of La Decade Philosophique ,...

Let’s Be Realistic

2025-02-28

[The Lecturer’s Art: Gems of American History by Walter A. McDougall. Encounter Books, 2025. xxii + 291 pp.]The historian Walter McDougall is not a libertarian, but he criticizes the Progressives and Woodrow Wilson in a similar way to Murray Rothbard. He does so from the perspective of “realism.” Although people benefit from cooperation, realists maintain, their desires for wealth and power often lead them to act in ways that violate morality and...

How Much Gold Does the US Government Own, and Where Is It?

2025-02-27

by

2025-02-27

Several key figures in the Trump administration have declared that the “gold at fort Knox” ought to be audited. I’m all in favor of this, but the gold at Fort Knox is less than sixty percent of the federal government’s gold holdings. The rest of the gold reserves needs to be audited as well.How Much Gold Is There?The US government has not performed a proper audit of its gold reserves since 1953. A partial audit occurred in the 1980s. The “audits”...

A Practical Way to Protect the Worldwide Trading System

2025-02-27

by

2025-02-27

In a previous essay, I pointed out that it is very likely that the US will isolate itself from the worldwide trading system due to its past—frankly unlawful—actions to steal the assets of other countries and the increasing assault on the purchasing power of the dollar. My goal was to recommend actions that the US government could adopt to reassure its trading partners that neither outright theft of assets or decline in the purchasing power of the...

The Gold In Fort Knox Does Not Back the Dollar or Anything Else

2025-02-27

by

2025-02-27

I’m all in favor of a thorough and public audit of the US’s gold reserves. This includes the gold, not only at Fort Knox, but also at the other gold storage facilities at West Point, Denver, and the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Ron Paul was right when, in 2011, he tried to force the federal government to be transparent about its gold holdings.Virtually everything the US government owns is stolen, whether it’s stolen from Americans or from foreign...

An X exchange over the weekend is bringing new light to an issue long shrouded in mystery—the status of America’s purported stockpile of 8,133 tons of gold stored in Fort Knox and other government vaults across the country.News aggregator ZeroHedge tweeted at President Trump’s head of government efficiency, Elon Musk, “It would be great if @elonmusk could take a look inside Fort Knox just to make sure the 4,580 tons of US gold is there.
