The Luck Fallacy and Luck Egalitarianism12:56 Luck egalitarians fallaciously declare property and wealth to be illegitimate or at least suspect due to a mysterious, unquantifiable force called luck. Their arguments fail even if what they claim about luck is true. U.S. Debt Tops 100% of GDP3:23 The U.S. national debt now exceeds 100% of gross domestic product, crossing a once-unthinkable threshold, on the way toward breaking the record set in the wake of World War II. NYT: "The U.S. Military Was Losing Its Edge. After Iran, Everyone Knows It."3:23 " But the problem is bigger than any single commander in chief. The United States has left itself unprepared for modern war." Stuff that Fed Officials Say1:15 Ryan McMaken, Jonathan Newman, and Joshua Mawhorter of the Mises Institute take a look at the politics of "fedspeak" and what officials at the Federal Reserve really mean when they say they're going to fix the Fed. The Shadow Chair22:04 A soft coup took place in D.C. last night, and Jerome Powell could stay in the bunker until 2028, if he so chooses. We Are Living in the Fourth American Republic21:00 The old republic is gone. The constitutional order of the Jeffersonian years—i.e., the so-called "American experiment"—was swept away long ago. New DOJ report details how Biden's FBI targeted Christians19:56 Biden's FBI "diligently attempted to use its enforcement authority against parents who defended their children’s safety at local school board meetings." The Tragedy of Socialized Fertility18:53 The dearth of child-bearing in western countries like the US is seen as a political crisis. Yet, if there is any place in our lives where government should stay out, it is in the area of childbirth. Preface by Murray N. Rothbard16:45 Rothbard introduces Molinari's essay as a pioneering work that took free-market principles to their logical conclusion by questioning the state's monopoly on defense. Competition in Security16:45 Molinari applies the general principle of free competition directly to the provision of security services. Monopoly and Communism16:45 Molinari draws a parallel between monopoly and communism, arguing that both represent departures from the principle of free competition. The Divine Right of Kings and Majorities16:45 Molinari argues that majority rule is no more legitimate than royal absolutism when it violates individual rights. The Production of Security16:44 Molinari opens by establishing that humans have a fundamental need for security of their persons and property. Security an Exception?16:44 Molinari confronts the common objection that security is somehow different from other goods and must be exempted from market provision. The Monopolization and Collectivization of the Security Industry16:44 Molinari describes how coercive control over defense led to the familiar abuses of taxation, war, and the suppression of individual liberty. |
