Hey all, This question was recently raised on the Mises Institute's Facebook page and I found the responses incredibly inspiring. Most surprising to me was that most people there came from a traditionally socialist philosophy. This is encouraging. I'd love to hear how members of this forum came...

The battle for the natural right of self ownership is expanding. Republicans seem to be leaning towards more libertarian principles, and Democrats are, well, where the Republicans were in 2006 – stuck.

Link In this essay I examine the relationship between libertarianiam and conservatism, taking Block and Hoppe's views as a starting point for the analysis and then proposing that we redefine "conservative" as "one with a relatively low degree of time preference". All feedback...

What Mr. WhoRU wrote that Mr. Vieira purports to comment on: [1] I have fairly well addressed this myth above but I hear this claim quite often and I challenge anyone who makes this claim to set forth a detailed explanation of the means whereby the Fed has any ability to cause Federal Reserve Notes to...
