End the Fed! How Ron Paul Made Monetary Policy an Issue
Includes an introduction by Jeff Deist. Recorded in Lake Jackson, Texas, on December 4, 2021. Ron Paul's two campaigns for president (2008 and 2012) were watershed moments for liberty-minded people around the world. The "Ron Paul Revolution"—centered around his undiluted message of peace, property, and markets—changed the way millions thought about the American empire and ...

Being ignorant of something doesn’t aid in diagnosing that something
Given that we were so involved in that electricity privatisation and the design of the subsequent system, a little comment on something:The obvious next question is why on earth you would design an energy system this way. The answer is ideological. In the 1980s, the Thatcher government had a problem. It was committed to privatising the power stations and grids that produced and supplied our energy. But its doctrine of efficient markets didn’t...

Some Covid Links
UnHerd‘s Freddie Sayers talks to a former prisoner of Australia’s Covid-internment camp. Here’s the abstract of a new paper by Daron Acemoglu, Victor Chernozhukov, Iván Werning, and Michael D. Whinston – a paper which lends a good deal of support (without mentioning it) to the spirit of the great Great Barrington Declaration): (HT Ian Fillmore) We study targeted lockdowns in a multigroup SIR model where infection, hospitalization, and fatality...

Visions of the Future of Capitalism
Earlier this year I published my book, The Struggle for a Better World which consists of various published versions of public lectures I have given over roughly between 2000-2020 mainly at learned societies and associations. They have also reflect a little bit of my globetrotting during that period as the site of lectures have ranged from New Zealand to East and Central Europe. These various lectures represent my attempt to come to grips not...

The Great Disconnect
Needless to say, the “disappointing” 210,000 jobs number for November is completely meaningless—and not just because the unusually large negative seasonal adjustment looks a bit sketchy. The fact is, the monthly delta is always mostly context- and trend-free noise that gets adjusted and revised ten-ways-to-Sunday for the next five years. Yet when you look at […]

Bad and Good Olympic Boycotts
Let people choose for themselves. No one knows how hard it is. No one knows what we’re doing every day and what the challenges are. We were invisible basically, except portrayed as children who wouldn’t do what the president wanted to have done. But it was our lives, not his. The above quote is from Anita DeFrantz, who was on the U.S. Olympic rowing team for the 1980 Olympics, which were held in Moscow. She didn’t get to go, nor did the other...

Israel Kirzner and the "European Miracle"
Professor Israel M. Kirzner, more than any other economist of the Austrian School (and among economists in general) since the second half of the 20th century, has revived our understanding of the systematic role of the entrepreneur as the driving force of the market as a process of discovery, error correction, and learning (Kirzner 1973). The economist’s task, according to Kirzner (1963 [2011], p. 10), in “explaining what has happened in the...

Judge Blocks Biden’s COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate For Federal Contractors
By Zachary Stieber of Epoch TimesA judge on Tuesday blocked President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for federal contractors, finding that Biden likely lacks the authority to force them to get vaccinated.“This is not a case about whether vaccines are effective. They are. Nor is this a case about whether the government, at some level, and in some circumstances, can require citizens to obtain vaccines. It can,” U.S. District Judge Gregory...

The New African Virus Mutation
There are no variants. Because there is no virus. SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t exist. I’ve spent the past year and a half proving that. [0] But fantasies do exist. So do covert ops with intentions to deceive. Thus, the “scientific world” is agog over the new South African variant, named B11529 (aka Omicron, Botswana). Woo. The ghost is coming out of the closet. Beware. COVID cases are rising… “We don’t know whether the vaccine will be effective in the...

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. We also discuss an incident at his university that will sound sadly familiar to American listeners. Sponsor: Merk Investments Show notes for Ep. 1902
