On this episode of Power and Market, we feel compelled to discuss this week's State of the Union speech.

July 2026 will mark the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence we will be remembering the Declaration as the radical and revolutionary document that it really was. The Declaration was a document that asserted the importance of natural rights and the right to secession.

Young Americans and young right-wingers are correct to reject the awful status quo. But to really reject it, you first have to understand it. It would be a major mistake for the Right to delegate their understanding of what’s gone wrong under the current system to their ideological opponents.

How does one act counterculturally and rebel against the systems of dependency? How do young people learn to act wisely without examples? Knowing how to see through the smoke and mirrors of the inflation culture is a necessary skill for a freer and more peaceful tomorrow.

In this issue of The Misesian, we look at how the inflationary economy affects Gen Z, and what can be done to reclaim an economy based on saving, investing, and looking to the future. Hope is a fragile thread.

On this episode of Power & Market, Ryan, Connor, and Tho celebrate Presidents' Day by talking about the best and worst presidents in American history.
