2024-09-10

Last weekend several hundred of us gathered in Washington, DC, at the Ron Paul Institute conference to again proclaim our dedication to the cause of liberty and our opposition to constant US government assaults on that liberty. Our collaborators included old friends like Judge Andrew Napolitano, who explained that the Bill of Rights was not added to the Constitution to grant Americans liberties, but to recognize liberties already existing for all...

2024-09-10

While the majority of libertarians have looked with favor at Milei’s entry into politics and his measures as President, this view has not been embraced by all. Oscar Grau, for example, has written some critical articles analyzing Milei’s domestic and foreign policies. With regards to the former, Grau has argued that Milei’s approach is interventionist, squeezing the private sector under the banner of a rhetorical adherence to freedom and free...

The Stewards of History Desperately Need Mises

The word “archivist” likely conjures images of a meek librarian surrounded by dusty shelves, old boxes, and brittle paper. Alternatively, conflation with “archeologist” might summon mental replays of Raiders of the Lost Ark. But archivists are not a fedora-wearing, pistol-packing, whip-wielding bunch. While lacking pistols or whips, however, archivists surprisingly accept and promote dangerous and intolerant collectivist ideology—some to the point...

The ABCT and Life Sciences Real Estate

2024-09-10

The malinvestments generated by the government’s response to COVID continue to be revealed with time and higher interest rates. What seemed like a good idea at the time—with low interest rates and the threat of a future of mutating viruses—was the building of life-sciences buildings. Paul Cwik writes in his new book Austrian Business Cycle An Introduction, “Entrepreneurs engage in ventures that are built upon the temporary stimulative credit...

The Folly of Criminalizing “Hate”

Many people were shocked when over 1,000 protesters were arrested in the UK and jailed for various offenses including “violent disorder” and stirring up racial hatred. Most shocking were the cases of those arrested for posting social media comments on the riots, despite not being present at the scene and there being no evidence that anybody who joined in the riots had read any of their comments.In societies which uphold the value of individual...

The Woke Plot To Destroy Our Economy

2024-09-10

“Woke” people claim that they want to wake up racial and sexual minorities to the way they are being discriminated against. Because of past and present exploitation, blacks and other “protected” groups are not getting what rightfully belongs to them. The solution to this is that the better off, especially if they are white, should have their wealth and income seized and given to those they are exploiting.The woke position rests on a fundamental...

The Top Five Lessons for the Young Economist

2024-09-09

by

2024-09-09

The Mises Institute is taking back economics education. In public schools, students learn that FDR’s New Deal and World War II got the US out of the Great Depression. They learn that total government control over an economy has its downsides, but so does pure laissez-faire, so the best system is a mixed economy with government intervention. The role of the entrepreneur is minimized or even completely ignored while the role of the state is...

Is GDP an Accurate Measure of Reality?

2024-09-09

by

2024-09-09

To gain insight into the state of an economy, most economists rely on a common statistic named the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The GDP looks at the value of final goods and services produced during a particular period, usually a quarter or a year.Using this measurement statistic assumes that what drives the economy is not the production of goods and services, but rather consumption. In GDP, what matters is the demand for final goods and services....
