The Fed’s Confidence Game: Gold, Debt, and What Comes Next18:03 Dr. Mark Thornton of the Mises Institute joins VRIC Media to discuss what may really be driving Federal Reserve policy—and why the Fed’s priorities may have far more to do with government debt, financial markets, and confidence in the dollar than simply controlling inflation. If Markets Are Booming, Why Are You Struggling?18:03 Mises Institute’s Mark Thornton joins Lynette Zang to break down why financial markets can boom while everyday Americans continue to struggle. They discuss the AI-driven market surge, rising debt, distorted markets, declining purchasing power, and why the difference between owning real money and relying on a financial system built on debt matters now more than ever. Keynes Before He Became a Keynesian17.srpna The costs of war are vast and horrific. Most people know this, which raises the question of why the US government seemingly can’t live without it. Is it simply Why the Fed Should Not Accommodate Increases in the Demand for Money17.srpna Most economists believe that a growing economy needs a growing supply of money. While sounding like a common-sense idea, it turns out to be dreadfully wrong. Government Intervention and Economic Inequality15.srpna Mark Thornton explains how government intervention creates inequality, privileging protected industries and politically connected insiders while pushing costs onto everyone else. The Pretexts and Motives Behind Government Regulation15.srpna Murray Rothbard wrote many years ago that government regulation, ostensibly created to protect consumers, actually protects incumbent producers from competition. Decades later, nothing has changed.

Has Trump Already Lost the War with Iran?14.srpna Months ago, the administration said the war's goals were regime change and the removal of all uranium from Iran. We never hear about that anymore because the war has failed to produce either goal. Instead, Trump calls for opening the Strait of Hormuz, which had been open before the war. The Illegal Constitutional Amendment14.srpna The Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution has been the basis of numerous Supreme Court decisions, yet there is a compelling case for its never having been legally ratified. In this week’s Friday Philosophy, Dr. David Gordon examines those claims. Scott Bessent: New Prince of the Yen?14.srpna On this episode of Power and Market, Ryan, Tho, and Dr. Jonathan Newman recent economics headlines, including interventions to prop up the yen, a bad jobs report, and troubling signs in bond markets. Ahoy! Ahoy! The Telephone, Entrepreneurship, and Cronyism14.srpna Our history books tell us about how Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone. They don’t tell us that his company then successfully got the government to grant it monopoly powers, thus harming consumers and stifling technological innovation for nearly a century. The Imaginary World of Fed "Independence"14.srpna The rhetoric of independence allows the Treasury and the Fed to cooperate when convenient and deflect blame when something goes wrong. The Prussians Who Built Prussia13.srpna The stereotype of the Prussian as the militaristic, state-loving creature probably needs to be rethought. The history of Prussia and its people is more complicated than contemporary historians wish to admit. The Alice-in-Wonderland World of the WNBA13.srpna As Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever drove toward the basket for a seemingly easy breakaway layup, DiJonai Carrington of the Chicago Sky bore down on her. |
