| Mish Interview With "Bitcoin Jesus" |
| Of all the topics that readers have pleaded me to write about for months but I never did until now, "bitcoins" are at the top of the list.
In private emails, I stated on many occasions "bitcoins are a scam". I now take that back, "scam" is not the correct word. Others whose opinions I highly respect, state the same thing.
For example, Geoff Turk at GoldMoney stated in an email response:
"I have spent quite a bit of time researching Bitcoins and have not found anything scam-like about them.Monday, April 29, 2013 |

Emulate Ron Paul  |
| I?ve had the privilege of knowing Ron Paul for 37 years. I worked as his chief of staff during his early years in Congress, and he played an important role when I opened the Mises Institute, where he has served as our distinguished counselor ever since.
He?s the same person in private life that he is in public: thoughtful, decent, humble, self-effacing, and generous in acknowledging his intellectual debts.Tuesday, April 09, 2013 |

 The Myth of the Gold Supply Deficit |
| Analyses based on annual supply and demand of gold appear on a daily basis, whether posted to gold web sites or in the financial media, many of them by the most respected analysts of gold mining shares. These articles typically show an imbalance between supply and demand, suggesting that there is a gold supply deficit. From there, the conclusion follows that a much higher gold price is required in order to bring supply and demand into balance.Thursday, April 04, 2013 |

 Why Michael Pento Should Just Keep His Mouth Shut  |
| Tweet
One aspect of technology is that it takes intellectual capacity along with consistent and diligent effort to become competent.Michael Pento, a fairly prominent gold bug, recently appeared on CNBC for a discussion on Bitcoin. Based on his performance the only thing I could think of was, ‘This has to be an April Fools joke. Then my mind shifted to the phrase that it is better to remain quiet and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.’
Mr. Pento really should have reWednesday, April 03, 2013 |

In counterfeiting we trust  |
| If there is one central myth supporting the folly that passes for monetary policy and by extension fiscal policy, it would have to be the unchallenged assumption that money should be defined and controlled by government. Given the role of money in the economy - that it is one-half of virtually every transaction - nothing has been more destructive to the well-being of most people than the government’s usurpation of money from the market.Money was once the most marketable commodity (Ludwig von MiMonday, April 01, 2013 |

| Want To Understand Money? |
| It was Carl Menger who demonstrated how money could emerge on the free market, and Ludwig von Mises who demonstrated that it had to emerge that way. In this as in so many other areas, Mises broke with the reigning orthodoxy, which in this case held that money was a creation of the state and held its value because of the state’s seal of approval. A corollary of the Austrian view was that fiat paper money could not simply be created ex nihilo by the state and imposed on the publicThursday, March 28, 2013 |

| Anatomy of the Bank Run - Murray N. Rothbard |
| Another Constitutional violation by government that we seldom mention... can you identify it? [hint: contract clause?]
Mises Daily: Monday, March 25, 2013 by Murray N. Rothbard
[This article is featured in chapter 79 of Making Economic Sense by Murray Rothbard and originally appeared in the September, 1985 edition of The Free Market]
It was a scene familiar to any nostalgia buff: all-night lines waiting for the banks (first in Ohio, then in Maryland) to open; pompous but mendacious assTuesday, March 26, 2013 |

| Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850): Between the French and Marginalist Revolutions |
| CLAUDE FREDERIC BASTIAT was a French economist, legislator, and writer who championed private property, free markets, and limited government. Perhaps the main underlying theme ofBastiat's writings was that the free market was inherently a source of "economic harmony" among individuals, as long as government was restricted to the function of protecting the lives, liberties, and property of citizens from theft or aggression.Monday, March 18, 2013 |

 Quizzing Lew Rockwell  |
| ROCKWELL: I think I have to credit my dad, who was an Old Right Republican. And, in fact, my first political memory is of him pinning a "Taft for President" button on my coat –
(Laughter)
– my winter coat in Boston.
WOODS: Pretty good start though.
ROCKWELL: Yes. So he got me interested in a lot of it. But I also think there's something to the point Ron Paul always makes. He thinks that many of us are born Libertarians. And so I can remember very early on, in school, arguing with one of my teachers. This is long before the '64 Civil Rights Act, but he was arguing for that sort of a bill. And I can remember saying – this is in the seventh grade; having a long argument. It just didn't seem to me right to have the government force business people to have customers they didn't want to have. Now, whether their motives, the business peoples' motives were right or not, you know, that was for somebody else to decide. But that the government should be able to use force to bring about the social changes it wanted just seemed to be wrong. So I think from a very early age I just was inclined against government power.Sunday, February 10, 2013 |

The “Money Supply” with a Gold Standard 2 : 1880 - 1970  |
| The United States, from 1789 to 1860, had a libertarian "free banking" system. Anyone could issue currency, but it had to be pegged to gold. This "gold peg" was a value pegSaturday, January 12, 2013 |

| Gold and Guns |
| In his extraordinary book Democracy: The God that Failed, Hans Hermann Hoppe points out that the process of civilization is stopped when government continually violates property rights. The natural process of civilization comes through delaying consumption, saving, and building capital. Undoing it leads to higher societal time preference.Friday, January 04, 2013 |

| The Rothbardian Way |
| There are many varieties of libertarianism alive in the world today, but Rothbardianism remains the center of its intellectual gravity, its primary muse and conscience, its strategic and moral core, and the focal point of debate even when its name is not acknowledged. The reason is that Murray Rothbard was the creator of modern libertarianism, a political-ideological system that proposes a once-and-for-all escape from the trappings of left and right and their central plans for how state power should be used. Libertarianism is the radical alternative that says state power is unworkable and immoral.Wednesday, December 05, 2012 |

In an essay entitled "Lincoln, the Declaration, and Secular Puritanism: A Rhetoric for Continuing Revolution," the late literary scholar Mel Bradford explained the ideological genesis of American military and foreign policy that has prevailed since 1863.Lincoln’s "erroneous understanding of the Declaration of Independence" as espoused in The Gettysburg Address, wrote Bradford, established "a rhetoric for continuing revolution" and "set us forever to ‘trampling out the grapes of wrath.Tuesday, October 30, 2012 |

| What Should Freedom Lovers Do? |
|
How can one combine professional life with the advancement of liberty? Of course it is presumptuous to offer a definitive answer since all jobs and careers in the market economy are subject to the forces of the division of labor.Because a person focuses on one task doesn't mean that he or she isn't great at many tasks; it means only that the highest productive gains for everyone come from dividing tasks up among many people of a wide range of talents.Friday, October 26, 2012 |

 What Ron Paul Might Have Said About That 47% |
|
Unlike Romney and Obama, Ron Paul is neither a repeater of Republican Party platitudes about "America’s greatness" nor a mumbler of silly socialist platitudes that sound like they were paraphrased directly from The Communist Manifesto ("From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs").Thursday, October 25, 2012 |

| The Fascist Threat |
| Everyone knows that the term fascist is a pejorative, often used to describe any political position a speaker doesn’t like. There isn’t anyone around who is willing to stand up and say: "I’m a fascist; I think fascism is a great social and economic system."
But I submit that if they were honest, the vast majority of politicians, intellectuals, and political activists would have to say just that.Friday, October 19, 2012 |

| Twin Demons |
| The 20th century was the century of total war. Limitations on the scope of war, built up over many centuries, had already begun to break down in the 19th century, but they were altogether obliterated in the 20th. And of course the sheer amount of resources that centralized states could bring to bear in war, and the terrible new technologies of killing that became available to them, made the 20th a century of almost unimaginable horror.Friday, September 28, 2012 |
