Here Comes China’s “National Team” To Bailout Markets
Earlier today we said that with Chinese stocks suffering historic losses, HK's tech sector imploding..... and liquidation fears spreading to other, more serious products such as bonds and FX, it was only a matter of time before China's "National Team", i.e., the local plunge protection team, came out in full force to preserve confidence in centrally planned markets.Well, just a few hours later, we learned that sure enough, the local...

Irish Protocol: Why can’t the Government Listen?
Three routes to resolving the Irish Protocol crisis are considered: last week’s government command paper, “feint” and “The Trojan Horse”. The command paper is well written and sets out the way the Government thinks the Protocol should have been written, as well as some of the reasons why it was not. The future use of Article 16 is flagged. The trouble is that the EU rather likes the Protocol the way it is: the UK is being penalized for Brexit,...

Bonus Quotation of the Day…
… is from page 83 of José Ortega y Gasset’s classic 1932 slim volume, The Revolt of the Masses: Liberalism – it is well to recall today – is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence is the noblest cry that has ever resounded on this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak. It was incredible that the human...

“At the end of the day I think I am a teacher” — Steve Horwitz (1964-2021)
My dear friend, co-author, partner in so many educational and scholarly efforts since the mid 1980s passed away early Sunday morning (June 27, 2021) after a long and courageous battle with an aggressive form of cancer that to be honest with you I never heard of before he told me he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Steve was an optimist to the end, and he fought his disease with courage and curiosity (yes, he was fascinated by the science)...

The Birth And Rise Of Washington’s Infernal Inflation Machine, Part 3
Keynesian economists in the US have done their best to obfuscate the Fed’s culpability for the burned out industrial zone dotting Flyover American from coast to coast. Along with their nonchalance about China’s mountainous internal debt (about $50 trillion counting financial debt), a much used canard is the claim that China’s ultra-dirty float mainly reflected […]

Trust, but verify
Yes, that’s a sort of oxymoron. So let me put it this way. Put more weight on an expert’s opinion than a non-expert’s opinion. But also evaluate the soundness of the arguments used by experts; don’t accept them uncritically. A recent article at Yahoo followed a predictable path, pointing out how a low income Florida county is full of lots of obese people who refuse to get vaccinated. The reporter has great sympathy for the overworked...

The China Challenge: Rebuilding Trust in the Global Trading System
This year marks the 20th anniversary of China’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), whose global influence threatens the postwar liberal international order. President Biden in a recent interview summed up the China challenge as being about “whether or not democracy can function in the 21st century . . . [or] whether autocracy is the answer.” Taking on this challenge requires...

Basel III’s Effect on Gold and Silver
There is sometimes a tendency to confuse ends and means. For example, in traveling through an airport there is extensive inspection of passengers. Before you are allowed to board an airplane, you must go through a process that is intrusive and increasingly invasive. This is deemed to be security. How do we know it makes us secure? Because it is annoying. See the switcheroo? The degree of disruption of your schedule and possessions bears only a...

Let’s Talk Defunding — For the FBI
The Washington Examiner reported last week that the FBI used a tip line while vetting Brett Kavanaugh. That sounds like another dirty trick that the Democrats were probably behind — but in fact, it’s the Democrats that are upset about it and are demanding answers. It seems they’re concerned that the FBI may not have thoroughly investigated all tips received, and they want to know why. The implication seems to be that President Trump may have...

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
