12-12-24 CPI Gives The Fed a Green Light for Rate Cut

Yesterday’s CPI report was seemingly the last hurdle for the Fed to cut interest rates.

Economists and the State: From Enemies to Friends

Economists and the state are natural enemies. The central principle of economics is that the means for improving human well-being—what economists call “goods”—are naturally scarce and must be produced before they can be used to satisfy human wants. The scarcity principle also implies that, once produced, goods cannot be bestowed on one person without depriving some other person or persons of their use. In other words, there is no such thing as a...

The Misesian, vol. 1, no. 6, 2024

Another national election has come and gone, and like many of our readers, I think the less awful candidate won. After all, a victory for Kamala Harris was likely to be interpreted as an endorsement of the status quo and a “mandate” for more of the same.Unfortunately, though, opposition to the status quo is not the same thing as support for peace, freedom, or free markets. Dissatisfaction with the regime is good, but it’s not enough. We will see...

Nock’s Enemy, the State

Our Enemy, the Stateby Albert Jay Nock This year the theme of the Institute’s Supporters Summit was “Our Enemy, the State.” What better book review for this issue of The Misesian, then, than a discussion of Albert Jay Nock’s Our Enemy, the State, first published in 1935? In what follows, I’ll talk about some of the insights in that book.Nock draws a distinction between the state and society, though sometimes he describes this distinction as between...

Printing Power: The Central Bank and the State

This essay is adapted from a speech delivered at the Mises Institute’s Supporters Summit in Hilton Head, South Carolina, on October 12, 2024.“Printing Power” in our title has a double meaning: It can mean “printing power”—the power to print money, which central banks have. But we will focus on “printing power”—the central bank’s money printing as an essential source of the power of the state, including of course the Federal Reserve’s printing to...

SNB Slashes Policy Rate in Half

Overview:  The US dollar is mostly softer today, but the tone is mostly one of consolidation. The Swiss National Bank surprised with a 50 bp cut and the franc is the only G10 currency that has not edged up against the greenback today. Australia reported a stronger than expected employment report. This boosted Australian yields and the Aussie, which is the strongest of the G10 currencies. Shortly, the ECB is expected to announce a quarter-point rate...

Selections from Our Enemy, the State: Supports Summit 2024

All States Are Empires of Economic Lies—Tom DiLorenzoI’m going to start out by expressing my agreement with Doug Casey, who wrote about the economics profession of today. Most economists are political apologists masquerading as economists. They tailor theories to help politicians demonstrate the virtue and necessity of their quest for more power.This has been going on for a long time. Here’s the founding document of the American Economic...

The Bailout Fallacy

What Went Wrong with Capitalismby Ruchir SharmaSimon and Schuster, 2024; 384 pp.It is always encouraging when a non–Austrian School economist accepts through his own reasoning an essential tenet of Austrian economics.

Who Ultimately Pays the Cost of Protective Tariffs?

It is a benefit of sound economic theory that it proves very useful in the refutation of popular fallacies and misconceptions about the workings of the market economy. One such fallacy is the assertion that government interventions through protective tariffs are without negative consequences for the people of the imposing country. Politicians and statesmen have employed these talking points to earn the support of the majority of the voting masses...
