credited reading Ludwig von Mises, Murray Rothbard, and Ron Paul's End the Fed for providing a better education on money and banking than he received at Stanford University.
Happy Birthday to Ludwig von Mises, a man who dedicated his life to saving civilization from the intellectual and political disasters of the 20th Century.
He was the leading critic of the inflationism, managerialism, and authoritarianism that haunts the world today.

On this day in 1971, Nixon lied to the American people.
The dollar's last link to gold was broken.
Americans have been paying the price ever since.
Inflation is theft.

Woodrow Wilson's Christmas Grift of 1913 | George Ford Smith
Two days before Christmas, 1913, the infamous "creature from Jekyll Island," the Federal Reserve System, was birthed into our body politic. It has been devouring the economy ever since.
The Christmas truce, which occurred primarily between the British and German soldiers along the Western front in December 1914, is an event the official histories of the "Great War" leave out, and the Orwellian historians hide from the public.
Marxist socialists vociferously object to being classified under the same heading that includes Fascist Socialists and National Socialists. But as Mises showed, all distinctions between these groups are on the surface. Economically, they are united.
"Even if we do not see our ideas triumph during our lifetime, we will know and be eternally proud that we gave it our all, and that we did what every honest and noble person had to do." - Hans-Hermann Hoppe
Happy Birthday, Dr. Hoppe

Despite the accusations that Javier Milei is a fascist in libertarian clothes, many of his reforms have been successful in reversing some of the damage done to Argentina's economy by real fascists.

How did he do it? Easy: he cut a host of central government agency budgets by 50% while slashing crony contracts and activist handouts.

In 1971, Nixon used a fiscal crisis to justify severing the dollar's last connection to gold. It was the same old story: "we must vastly expand government power because of a 'crisis.'" The government never gives up these new powers. |

When Javier Milei met Vivek Ramaswamy, the two praised Mises, Hayek, and Rothbard, and agreed that criminal government agencies must be shut down because they are too evil to be reformed. Beautiful.

The Mises Institute announced that Thomas DiLorenzo has been named its next president, following approval by its Board of Directors.
DiLorenzo has a long and distinguished career as an academic economist, author, and speaker. He was Professor of Economics at Loyola University,

It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a ‘dismal science.’ But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud & vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.- Rothbard
