Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/11/13

The government “shutdown” and the so-called threat to the food stamp program may be abated for now, but we need to understand why this program has metastasized in recent years. James Bovard tells us why.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/food-stamps-and-federal-war-self-reliance

A Brief History of the Enduring American Embargo...

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/10/28

For more than 60 years, the US government has enforced a trade embargo against Cuba, ostensibly to force the communist government into collapse. The only thing that has collapsed, however, is the logic in the US policy.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/brief-history-enduring-american-embargo-against-cuba

No, Tariffs Did Not Cause September's Budget Surplus

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/10/28

September’s fiscal surplus was not thanks to tariff revenue. In truth, it was thanks to Americans paying more in income tax. Tariffs were only 5.7 percent of revenue.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/no-tariffs-did-not-cause-septembers-budget-surplus

How to Recognize Critical Race Theory

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/10/28

Despite the change in the White House, critical race theory is still with us, dominating the academic sectors and being ingrained in progressive culture. We need to better recognize what it is and how it works in order to better refute it.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-recognize-critical-race-theory

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/10/27

No one doubts that the US is a politically and culturally divided nation. Contrary to much of public opinion, politicians like Donald Trump did not cause the crisis. Instead, as Lawrence Mead writes, they are a symptom of the government's assault on our culture.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/recognizing-roots-current-us-political-turmoil

Going for Broke

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/10/09

Once upon a time, American firms built with the long term in view, and the government did not try to hinder them. Today, thanks to reckless federal government spending, we are living hand-to-mouth, accumulating massive debts, and soon enough will be broke.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/going-broke

2025/09/30

Created to assure that newly-freed slaves would receive equal legal protection, the Fourteenth Amendment has come to dominate federal jurisprudence. This is not a good thing.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/how-fourteenth-amendment-empowers-judicial-activism

When Political Violence Becomes a Signal

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/09/30

Individual voters have little reason to become informed. Politicians have strong incentives to pander rather than persuade. Partisans are rewarded for tribal loyalty rather than epistemic integrity.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/when-political-violence-becomes-signal

You Can’t Yell “Chicken Jockey” in a Crowded Theater...

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/08/15

The hackneyed argument for government regulation of speech -- yelling "FIRE" in a crowded theater -- has always been a red herring. As Murray Rothbard wrote, private property rights should be front-and-center when dealing with free speech issues.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/you-cant-yell-chicken-jockey-crowded-theater-except-when-you-can

Tariffs Won’t Spawn Good Trade Deals

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/08/14

The media is spinning President Trump‘s “trade deals” as a “victory” for the White House. Yet, when we break down these “deals” into their particulars, we find that American producers and consumers will be worse off than before.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/tariffs-wont-spawn-good-trade-deals

The Trump-Putin Meeting: How We Got Here

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/08/13

When presidents Trump and Putin meet this Friday, the political and military landscape is much different than it was when war broke out more than three years ago and Putin was willing to talk about a real cease fire. Thanks to western dishonesty, Ukraine's future is bleak.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/trump-putin-meeting-how-did-we-get-here

Reintroducing the Levellers

Audio Mises Wire ·

2025/08/08

Before the American Revolution, there were the Levellers, who sought liberty during the English Civil War. While their influence on the American colonists would be indirect, nonetheless, many of their ideas reflected what came after American independence.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/reintroducing-levellers

Audio Mises Wire ·

How did Europe move from a collection of impoverished city states and kingdoms to a prosperous state of affairs? Europeans learned the value of contracts, private property, and the limited power of the state, and in turn, they flourished.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/european-miracle-how-contractual-politics-and-divided-power-gave-birth-western-prosperity

2025/08/06

The recent attack by Israeli setters on the village of Taybeh in the West Bank has brought attention to the conflicts between Israel and the Christian population in Palestine. American Christians who uncritically support Israel should take a harder look at what is happening.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/americas-war-arab-christians

Harry Truman and the Atomic Bomb

2025/08/06

Whether President Trump overreacted to the recent BLS is irrelevant to the fact that government data often is inaccurate and politically suspect. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/no-matter-who-president-dont-trust-government-data
