The TSA stories, especially at Atlanta, are illustrations of interventionist non-intervention: non-delivery of promised, paid-for, and monopolized service.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/atlanta-tsa-and-test-case-interventionist-non-intervention
When accusations of rape and assault were made against Duke University’s lacrosse team in 2006, both the Durham City Police and District Attorney Michael Nifong engaged in law breaking to indict three young men that clearly were innocent.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/durham-police-and-prosecutors-committed-numerous-crimes-duke-lacrosse-case-and-escaped-meaningful-punishment
The federal government heavily subsidizes certain politically-connected food growers in the name of “protecting our food supply.” Actually, the government protects the livelihood of those that promote unhealthy foods.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/cheap-calories-expensive-consequences-how-federal-policy-contributes-chronic-disease
Mainstream finance regularly confuses finance, insurance and betting. The Austrian School provides the tools to understand their differences.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/mistaken-identity-prediction-markets
Murray Rothbard’s system was built upon the natural rights of individuals, and tying liberty to property and ownership, not collectivism.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/individualism-rothbards-natural-rights-libertarianism
Beyond the initial oil shock, the Iran war is also laying the foundation for ongoing monetary inflation and price inflation, with no real change to the US regime’s commitment to easy money.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/iran-war-brings-more-inflation-and-new-strength-yuan
Combining binary and triangular interventions, the state coercively taxes citizens to pay for its services, monopolizes certain services, and then is incentivized to engage in paid non-delivery.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/its-not-anarcho-tyranny-its-interventionist-non-intervention
Neo-Malthusian Paul Ehrlich recently passed away, but not before his false doomsday claims made his a very wealthy man. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/remembering-paul-ehrlich-even-if-we-would-rather-not
Generations of scholars come and go; a few, including Roger Garrison, make their mark on the field and inspire future generations to do the same.Original article: https://mises.org/power-market/roger-garrison-and-sustainable-growth-austrian-school
As we continue to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Murray Rothbard, Wanjiru Njoya reminds us that he never compromised his principles and stood for liberty throughout his all-too-brief life.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/rothbard-never-abandoned-his-principles
Milton Friedman and others tried to explain interest rates using liquidity, economic activity, and inflation expectations. These things, however, only describe interest but do not explain it. Only the Austrian theory of time preference correctly explains interest.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/popular-interest-rate-theory-describes-fails-explain
Modern academic historians have been captured by the cultural Marxists, no matter how much they deny the obvious truth.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/cultural-marxism-masquerading-true-history
As war drums beat again, this time against Iran, we ask ourselves if recklessness from Donald Trump and European and Israeli leaders is pushing us to catastrophe.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/another-stone-age-making
The radical classical liberals of the past were not so naive as to think that words on paper would prevent the abuses of the central state. Allowing the central state to have a monopoly on coercive power is always a mistake. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/only-power-can-check-power
The Duke Lacrosse Case would never have been a legal item had not the police and prosecutors of the case lied and broken the law on numerous occasions.

As we celebrate the Centennial of the birth of Murray Rothbard, we look at his commentary on the American Revolution, where it promoted liberty and where the creation of the Constitution became liberty’s roadblock.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/rothbard-and-american-revolution
The current US conflict with Iran has its roots in the CIA-backed coup in 1953, which removed a democratically-elected prime minister and replaced him with the Shah. The Shah’s government ultimately collapsed, leading to the current Islamic republic.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/operation-ajax-1953-cias-template-and-warnings-today
It has been 20 years since the Duke Lacrosse Case dominated the news media. It was a story in which false narratives of guilt pushed by corrupt police and prosecutors, radical members of Duke’s faculty, and the legacy media nearly railroaded three innocent men into prison.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/duke-lacrosse-case-exposed-rot-higher-education-media-and-justice-system
Those who believe in the free and unhampered market economy should be especially skeptical of war and military action. War, after all, is the ultimate government program.Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/rothbard-and-war
