Politics

While classical liberalism is preferable to socialism and interventionism, it is, at best, a halfway house to total freedom.

Modern egalitarianism is incompatible with individual liberty, something that is not proclaimed in political life. Egalitarians understand this, which is why they want to erase individual liberty altogether.

While US politicians are presenting policy prescriptions to make life more affordable, none of them are proposing what really would end this crisis: free markets.

Politicians now are campaigning on “affordability,” but their idea of making things in life more “affordable” consists of numerous interventions into free markets that ultimately make things more costly.

Mises Institute Fellow Karl-Friedrich Israel appears on The Peter McCormack Show.

As leftist politicians claim they will make life more “affordable” by imposing costly government intervention into the markets, others vote with their feet, moving to places with less intervention and more economic sanity.

The US regime is gearing up for another war. Get ready for another regime-change disaster like we got in Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria.

Many of the same Democratic lawmakers now condemning the shooting of survivors of the alleged drug boat strike had no problem when presidents they liked greenlit even worse strikes. But that doesn’t excuse Trump’s awful escalation in the Caribbean.

Modern progressive political narratives depend heavily upon the misuse of words, changing their meaning in hopes that people will forget what they originally meant. Politics corrupts our very language itself.

Politicians and central bankers invoke "contagion" to demand more power and money, while their interventions cause the very fragility they decry.
