Eiffel – symbolic engineer
7 hours agoGustav Eiffel, one of the 19th Century's significant engineers, was born on December 15th, 1832. He became one of the leading figures in France's Industrial Revolution which, for economic, cultural and political reasons, developed much later than its English counterpart. France was building infrastructure such as railways, and needed creative engineers to build the bridges and viaducts it needed. Eiffel pioneered many innovative design...

Necessity is the Mother of Invention – Retirees Desperate Reach for Yield
June 9, 2017Ben Bernanke’s creativity inspired a generation of economists and central bankers. QE, ZIRP and NIRP established a new class of economics that is mathematically sound but practically disastrous. Billions of dollars were transferred from savers to investors to boost the economy, but the wizards of quant forgot that something has to give. In this case, it was the formation of a pension crisis that threatens the golden years of millions of...

I Get Ink
17 hours agoA good thing just arrived by mail – a first edition of Francis Dashwood Tandy’s 1896 free-market anarchist classic Voluntary Socialism, autographed by the author. And for only $25! Usually those go for over $400, even if not autographed. I’ve grossly exploited some online bookseller, and I’m fine with that. Full disclosure: I’d intended this as a gift (I won’t say for whom) but I’ve selfishly decided to keep it. (Tandy, as a Tuckerite egoist,...

21 hours agoKevin Williamson is brilliant. Here he eviscerates progressives, as well as conservatives such as Marco Rubio and Michael Brendan Dougherty, whose advocacy of industrial policy and other forms of protectionism reveals both their economic ignorance and their skill at slaying straw men. A slice: Conservatives like to laugh at Paul Krugman, revisiting his long-ago prediction that the Internet would prove no more economically significant than the...

We present evidence that undermines one of the heretofore best cases for the belief that irrational, speculative bubbles were an important cause of the 1929 stock market crash.

Providing for Customers
24 hours agoQ: You embody a form of capitalism and entrepreneurship without romance. Where does that come from? A: I believe that the DNA of a business is to provide to its constituents. Customers come No. 1; No. 2 are employees; and somewhere in there are the shareholders. You who started it, you’re last. When you try and shift a business’s true purpose and say that it’s going to save society, you will fail. Not some of the time—100 percent of the time....

17 hours agoEconomy Here’s proof that 401(k) plans are not working for most Americans — can you guess who they are working for? (Adam) With almost half of all working-age families having zero in retirement savings, the fact that the median family had only $7,800 in these accounts shouldn’t come as a surprise. At the same time, the 90th percentile family had $320,000 and the top 1% of families (which isn’t shown on the chart) had $1,663,000 or more....

Why “This Sucker Is Going Down”
2 days agoAs the nation’s political and economic leaders struggled to contain the 2008 financial meltdown, President George W. Bush famously summed the situation up: “If money doesn’t loosen up, this sucker will go down.” Eleven years into the loose money recovery, this sucker is finally going down for reasons that have little to do with tight money and everything to do with the inconvenient fact that none of the structural problems have been addressed,...

Hyperinflation, Money Demand, and the Crack-up Boom

Mises's policy advice was instrumental in helping to stop hyperinflation in Austria in 1922. In his Memoirs, however, he expressed the view that his ...
