Are Economic Crises and Crashes Inevitable? 9:31

πριν 7 μέρες9:31

9:31

Economic crises don’t just happen—they follow a predictable pattern of boom, bubble, and bust. In this episode, Mark Thornton exposes the true cause of economic crashes: government intervention in money and banking. From the Dutch Tulip Bubble to the Great Depression and beyond, Mark traces how central banks, inflationary policies, and reckless government spending set the stage for financial collapses. Mainstream economists blame "animal spirits," psychological instability, or capitalism itself, but what if the real culprits are the very institutions claiming to prevent crises? Tune in to uncover the truth behind booms, busts, and the destructive cycle of intervention.

Our current paper fiat money system comes from a long process of building up state power that destroyed private money, ended truly private banking, and abolished the market system of competing currencies. It took 300 years, and we are now facing the inflationary results.

Lincoln's Tariff War 1:35:02

πριν 16 μέρες1:35:02

1:35:02

The Civil War is often framed as a moral struggle over slavery, but what if economic control was the real driving force? In this lecture, historian Thomas DiLorenzo challenges the mainstream narrative, arguing that Lincoln’s true priority was preserving federal tariff revenues rather than ending slavery. By tracing how tariffs fueled sectional tensions, DiLorenzo exposes how Northern industrialists benefited from protectionism at the South’s expense—and how Lincoln’s war ensured the federal government’s economic dominance. Was the war really about union and emancipation, or was it a fight to maintain Washington’s grip on the economy?

The Dangers of Tax Reform 26:30

πριν 17 μέρες26:30

26:30

Politicians love to promise "fairer" and "simpler" tax reform, but the reality is that every tax system is built on force and distortion. In this talk, Lew Rockwell dismantles the myth that taxation can ever be neutral, efficient, or morally justified. Whether it’s a flat tax, consumption tax, or a restructured income tax, every scheme still funnels trillions into the hands of bureaucrats while crushing productivity and personal freedom. Instead of searching for a "better" way to take your money, Rockwell asks the real question: Why should the government take it at all? Recorded on 15 January 2005 at The Trouble with Taxation Conference, Charlottesville, Virginia.…

Does the US government need a gold reserve? No, it doesn’t. The government’s gold is basically an emergency slush fund for elites to use to preserve their political power.

Mark Thornton explores the psychology and economics of extractive industries, from mining to energy production. Despite their crucial role in advancing civilization—providing everything from metals to fuel—these industries are now vilified, especially by younger generations influenced by environmentalist ideology. But what are the real economic consequences of restricting resource development? How does political interference in mining and energy affect future supply, prices, and investment opportunities? Tune in as Mark breaks down the myths, the propaganda, and the financial reality behind one of the most misunderstood sectors of the economy. Be sure to follow Minor Issues at Mises.org/MinorIssues…

Bob first reviews the standard libertarian case for legalizing drugs as the way to neutralize the Mexican drug cartels. Then he plays a recent clip where Dave Smith argues that drug prohibition leads to violence because (among other factors) you can't call the cops if someone steals your product. Bob argues that libertarians should stop making this (invalid) argument. Bob's Lessons for the Young Economist: https://Mises.org/HAP490a Part of the Problem Episode 1233: https://Mises.org/HAP490b…
