Think of the best football players of all time. One of my immediate thoughts is running back LaDainian Tomlinson. However, as you think about your list, ask yourself this: where do kickers like Justin Tucker (or my favorite college kickers like Jaden Oberkrom or Griffin Kell) rank? No matter who you are, odds are you thought of several running backs before even considering a kicker.
It seems Powerball has lost its zip.

Only two days left until Mises University begins! Our students have completed their required readings and have already started discussing Misesian utilitarianism, Rothbardian natural law, and Hoppean argumentation ethics in the Mises University private group chat.

His insights, especially with his directness and unequivocal honesty, have frequently provided me with a lot of food for thought in the past. This interview was no different. His candid and unfiltered responses to a wide variety of questions and topics made this conversation as illuminating as it was enjoyable.
Keynesian policies are damaging what they were intended to support. No example is more evident than the United States. A few years ago, in 2021, I had a conversation with Judy Shelton where she said that the recovery would be much stronger without the stimulus package, and she was right.
