Trade protection is another of those temporary government programs
As Milton Friedman noted, there’s nothing so permanent as a temporary government programme. Our example today is the trade protections upon steel. The UK imposes tariffs upon certain grades of steel because some Johnny Foreigners have the temerity to try to sell to British customers at prices British customers would like to pay: Britain's steel industry is braced for a decision on the UK’s tariff protections as soon as this week – potentially...

The Market as a Social Space, and What Happens When The Firms that Occupy That Space Disappear Due to Economic Disruption
Virgil Storr is one of the most perceptive and intellectually challenging social scientists I know. He also writes with grace and eloquence, but leave that aside at the moment. He has pushed an argument for many years now that not only is the atomistic model of competition wrong headed, the more general "model" of cooperation in anonymity is mistaken. Markets are spaces in which relationships are formed and sustained. His...

Buckle Up! The May CPI Was No Transitory Blip, Part 2
There are few things more preposterous in this old world than the Fed’s claim that it can reliably goose inflation to its 2.00% target, and to the second decimal place at that. The very pretension of it is mind-boggling, as proven by the chart below. The one thing the Fed surely can’t levitate is the […]

When should NGDP be unstable?
Over time, the labor force (employed plus unemployed) usually tends to grow at a pretty stable rate. In addition, hourly wage rates are sticky, or slow to adjust to shocks. As a result, a healthy economy requires a relatively slow but steady growth in nominal labor compensation. One way to do that is to have the central bank target NGDP growth at 4% or 5%/year. In a recent post, I suggested that the Covid recession was one case where NGDP...

The Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases Should Be Transparent About the Value Judgments Behind Its Estimates and Acknowledge Their Cost
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is seeking comments on behalf of the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG) regarding a recent update made to estimates of the social cost of carbon, methane, and nitrous oxide in a technical support document (TSD) issued by the IWG. The IWG intends for federal regulatory agencies to use the values from the TSD in regulatory impact analyses to justify regulations...

The only answer lies in reducing the number of stolen goods available. Original Article: "Why Corporate Lobbyists and Special Interest Groups Won't Go Away" This Audio Mises Wire is ...

Chipotle Menu Price Hike Spotlights Inflation Problem

Resetting the Federal Debt
According to the US Treasury, the federal government owes $28.2 trillion. It crossed the “28” threshold on the last day of March. The debt was just under $25 trillion at the end of April a year ago. There’s no question it’s growing at a faster and faster pace, and now there’s the excuse of Covid to spend more. Keep in mind, this is only that part of the total liabilities that the government chooses to acknowledge. If it reported its...

Buckle Up! The May CPI Was No Transitory Blip
The Fed’s destructive money-pumping has many victims, but chief among these is the Wall Street financial narrative itself. It emits not a whiff about the patent absurdity of the Fed’s monthly purchase of $120 billion of treasury and GSE debt under current circumstances; and treats with complete respect and seriousness the juvenile word game known as “thinking about thinking about tapering” by which the clowns in the Eccles Building fearfully...

Ep. 1902 The Modern State Is a Radical Departure
Marco Bassani of the University of Milan joins me to discuss the idea of the modern state -- centralized, one and indivisible, exercising a monopoly on violence over its territory, with no subdivisions having rights of their own that trump those of the central state.
