This Sunday, September 29, marks the birthday of Ludwig von Mises, and all fall campaign donations will be doubled in celebration. Join us! https://Mises.org/mi5 John Maynard Keynes was an English “economist” who spawned a revolution in economic thinking that emerged out of a cesspool of socialist thinking in Britain, creating a title wave of anti-economics that overwhelmed and dominated the economics profession worldwide, known as Keynesian economics. His experience as an investor is very instructive of his mindset—and the unfortunate revolution that he brought to the world. Follow Minor Issues at https://Mises.org/MinorIssues.

On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop are joined by Aaron Sobczak of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. The three discuss conservative calls to revive the “Hamiltonian tradition,” why it stands opposed to the classical liberalism of the American Revolution, and the role it has played in the growth of the modern regime that neo-Hamiltonians claim to oppose.

The Perfect Market Hypothesis claims that all movements in the market can be considered as random, as market players and prices adjust immediately to new information. However, market players do seek new information and seek to use it. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

The standard belief is that slavery was about obtaining “cheap labor,“ yet nothing could be further from the truth. Slavery comes with high opportunity costs, which is why American slave owners depended upon several government regulations to subsidize their “peculiar institution.” Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

Politicians have long claimed that states are like big families, and that political regimes rule in ways similar to how parents raise their families. This is nonsense. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

It is understood that Marx's theories stand entirely upon his Labor Theory of Value. If that theory is discredited, so is the scenario that leads to the inevitable triumph of communism. That fact, however, doesn't stop Marx's disciples from employing other fallacies. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

Academic historians and archivists have been captured by the hard left and the DEI industry. Not only will the current trends make them bad historians, but it also makes them intolerant people. Mises knew better. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

The common belief regarding state power is that it is always justified and there can be no questioning the state's existence. But is that true? Does state power conform to natural law or is it imposed upon subjected people? Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

California's 2014 ban on “single-use” plastic bags was supposed to lead to less waste of plastic, which hasn't happened. Now environmentalists are demanding the state ban the same plastic bags mandated by the original legislation. One intervention begets another and another. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

The ruling elites of the US are calling for a "return" to "Hamiltonian Statecraft" and to move away from so-called isolationism. However, there has been no time since the end of World War II that the US has been anything but aggressive in its foreign policy. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

When our ruling classes speak of “believing in democracy,” they are speaking of a romantic version of a form of governance that, in real life, is quite different than the sanitized version presented in our media. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

The Salamanca School is known for important contributions to free-market economics and the Austrian School. The Bolognese jurists also made key contributions. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

What Murray Rothbard used to call the "Old Right" stood for liberty, freedom of speech, and a free economy. Most importantly, they stood for peace, all in contrast to the "liberals" of their day and ours. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

Marx built his infamous labor theory of value on the premise that labor itself was a commodity. However, as Mises and other Austrians have noted, Marx failed both at understanding the complexity of labor and subjective value theories. Narrated by Millian Quinteros.

This week kicks off the Mises Institute’s Fall Campaign. Make a $100+ donation or a recurring donation of $5 or more, and Mark will send you a signed copy of The Skyscraper Curse: mises.org/mi5 The hatred and disparagement of gold as money and the gold standard has become standard dogma of and a pillar of the modern State. Mr. Buffet and Mr. Ramsey don’t know what they are talking about and have failed to look at the facts of history—any kind of history—in voicing their opinions. In complete contrast, regular people in society still see gold as an emblem of excellence more than a half century since the last vestige of the gold standard was taken away from us.
