Audio recordings of Mises Wire articles, offering contemporary news and opinion through the lens of Austrian economics and libertarian political economy.
Economists like Harold Demsetz and Ronald Coase based their property rights views on utilitarianism. Murray Rothbard based his on justice.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/why-justice-mattered-rothbard
When inflation surges, the first thing on the government's agenda is for the Federal Reserve to try to force up interest rates. However, as Frank Shostak writes, that might not be the best strategy.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/raising-interest-rates-does-not-counter-inflation
Prediction markets, while obviously imperfect, still work well because people voluntarily put their money where their beliefs are. Naturally, the government wants to shut them down.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/fear-signal-why-state-urgently-wants-bind-prediction-markets
Unfortunately, the Pope does not understand the role that monetary inflation plays in fueling AI's excesses. If he did, he might lead a necessary anti-AI spiritual alliance for sound money. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/sound-money-artificial-intelligence-and-pope
In spite of repeated claims from the Federal Reserve that monetary policy is at least moderately restrictive, there is no sign of any slowing in money-supply growth.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/april-money-supply-growth-hit-49-month-high-and-prices-soared
Regulatory systems are infamous for creating “traps” in seem to be impervious to reform. Regulators seek to “drain the swamp,” but, instead, find themselves up to their necks in alligators.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/moloch-regulatory-state
Before the Nat Turner Rebellion and the rise of militant abolitionism in the North, there were more anti-slavery societies in the South than in the northern states.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/abolitionist-movement-antebellum-south
Egalitarian interpreters of the Declaration not only empower the centralized state but promote a view of “equality” that shares a common ethical error with slavery itself—that legal castes of humans may be created and enforced against the liberty of others.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/declaration-independence-versus-egalitarianism
The covid lockdowns were useless for public health, but they vastly strengthened government’s stranglehold over our lives. We cannot allow this to happen again.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/potential-lockdowns-polarization-and-what-should-be-done
Not surprisingly, the present government is rapidly politicizing artificial intelligence. We don’t have to look far for disastrous results.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/ai-creative-destruction-and-politicization-economic-change
