I Became a Libertarian By Learning Three Life-Lessons.

Government has existed for millennia; only a century or so ago did intellectuals — many of them economists — come up with the idea that government was a suitable instrument for solving society’s problems. It is a bizarre idea: why should the guys with the guns run the financial system or provide us with education or health care?

The New Economics Of Value And Value Creation.

The equivalent perspective in Austrian economics comes from methodological individualism - the study of economic energy at its smallest possible scale: the individual, individual choices, and individual transactions. These interactions and transactions roll up into the complex, swirling, ever-changing systems we call firms, markets and, ultimately, economies.

Government Just Revoked Our Right To Know What Regulations They Are About To Pass.

Biden has eliminated a 2019 Executive Order 13891 that would “take public input into account when appropriate in formulating guidance documents, and make guidance documents readily available to the public.” Right, government agencies are supposed to treat their regulations as if they are regulations, and tell people what they’re obligated to do.

George Washington Knew Something About Civility, And Decency.

George Washington left us provided core principles that provide a useful model in that direction. But we have turned to honoring those principles more in the breach than the observance. We could greatly benefit from reviving those principles, which made him “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”

Why SPACS Are A Bubble That’s About To Burst.

The most obvious sign is the frenzied growth. Amid the global stock market volatility, last year’s $83 billion haul by SPACs was six times the amount raised in 2019 and nearly equaled the figure mustered by IPOs. Even David Solomon, chief executive of major SPACs underwriter Goldman Sachs, warned in January 2021 that the boom is not “sustainable in the medium term.”

America’s Governing Elite Wants To Govern Just Like China’s.

Beyond simply serving China’s imperial needs, the US oligarchy is working to build an America that looks more like China. The contours of their system are already clear: an enlightened elite broadcasts official progressive facts, beliefs, and values that none may question.
