On Wednesday, The US government sold $39 bilion worth of 10-year notes to investors, with the high yield for the auction at 5.3 percent. There was solid demand at the auction and put to rest some fears that a rapid bond sell-off might spiral as demand for bonds deteriorated. So, Wednesday’s auction showed that bonds are unlikely to be dumped wholesale in the near future.
Vice President J. D. Vance’s recent statements regarding economics show a profound lack of understanding. Perhaps Vance could expand his knowledge by completing a course on economics offered online by the Mises Institute.

Preface
The author of this tome thinks that he owes it to his readers to declare his baggage, to say a few words about the purpose of this book as well as about himself.
Introduction
So much about myself. The purpose of this book is to show the character of leftism and to what extent and in what way the vast majority of the leftist ideologies now dominating or threatening most of the modern world are competitors rather than enemies. This, we think, is an important distinction. Shoe factory A is a competitor of shoe factory B, but a movement promoting the abolition of footwear for the sake of health is the enemy of both.
