The Problem With “Classical Liberals”

The slow, stealthy but steady spread of absolutism 

Part I of II by Claudio Grass, Switzerland The struggle and rivalry between the “West and the rest” might be grabbing news headlines due to the Ukraine war these days, but in truth, it is anything but newsworthy. This antagonism, this battle for geopolitical, physical dominance, for moral supremacy, and this clash of ideas and fundamental values has been raging for much longer than that, perhaps longer than most of us can recall.  It sowed...

The Fed Holds the Fed Funds Rate Steady—Because it Doesn’t Know What Else To Do

If we read between the lines, it is apparent that the Fed is hoping that price inflation will fall to politically acceptable levels without any additional tightening, and without a recession.  But "hope" is all the Fed has.  Original Article: The Fed Holds the Fed Funds Rate Steady—Because it Doesn't Know What Else To Do

The Partnership from Hell

But once a commodity is established as a money on the market, no more money at all is needed. —Murray Rothbard, Taking Money Back The Fed’s distinguishing characteristic is its grant of privilege to buy assets with money it doesn’t have. No other person or institution can legally do this; those that tried would be indicted for counterfeiting. At the very least you might think this would raise eyebrows, but it doesn’t except in fringe quarters. It...

Stop Trying to “Contain” China in Southeast Asia

It was a laughable moment when President Joe Biden said at a press conference during his visit to Hanoi that the United States wasn’t seeking to contain China. Despite efforts by the Biden administration to send its top officials to quell any suspicion that Washington, DC, was trying to contain China, Beijing has realized that the efforts were merely a cover-up. By restricting access to chips and their manufacturing components as well as spending...

The State versus Entrepreneurs: Prosperity Always Loses

Governments prioritize economic growth as a national policy to win elections. Economic growth is a concern for all citizens because increasing economic growth improves living standards. There are more opportunities for self-advancement and leisure in a booming economy, so people endorse politicians who demonstrate that they know how to transform a sluggish economy into a booming one. Voters usually benefit from government policies when they...

Donate $5, Get Rothbard’s Greatest Myths!

Rothbard destroys the greatest myths of our time. America has been captured by economic denialism. The political class has driven the debt to a point that was once thought unimaginable. Inflation continues to eat away at the paychecks of everyone. The weaponization of the dollar has driven other countries to seek to abandon it. In 1984, Murray Rothbard wrote Ten Great Economic Myths, a succinct attack on the fallacies perpetrated by the...

The False Framing of Protectionism

The argument over trade is one that has been foisted back onto America by the likes of Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump. While most hold to the notion that Adam Smith ended the debate on trade policy in the 1770s, the issue has always been a prominent one in American history. The Hamiltonian Whigs and Lincoln Republicans have long stood opposed to the Jacksonian Democrats and their policy of laissez-faire capitalism. Perhaps the one shining light of...
