Having trouble finding an old Mises Wire article? It appears that Google has demoted and delisted Mises.org content, especially if it is over two years old.

For example, try finding Ryan McMaken’s 2016 article, “Has the CIA been Politicized?” with a Google search. You will probably find webpages that have reprinted the article, and you may see some mises.org pages that mention the article, but you won’t find the article itself.

The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) last week left the target policy interest rate (the federal funds rate) unchanged at 5.5 percent. This “pause” in the target rate suggests the FOMC believes it has raised the target rate high enough to rein in price inflation which has run well above the Fed’s arbitrary two-percent inflation target since mid-2021. I say “believe,” but perhaps the more appropriate word here is “hope.”
