| Why We Now Measure Gold in Dollars — and Not the Other Way Around |
| Prior to 1933, the name "dollar" was used to refer to a unit of gold that had a weight of 23.22 grains. Since there are 480 grains in one ounce, this means that the name dollar also stood for 0.048 ounce of gold. This in turn, means that one ounce of gold referred to $20.67.Observe that $20.67 is not the price of one ounce of gold in terms of dollars as popular thinking has it, for there is no such entity as a dollar. Dollar is just a name for 0.048 ounce of gold. On this Rothbard wrote,No one pWednesday, February 10, 2021 |

 Why I Am an Anarcho-Capitalist  |
| A great many people – more than ever, probably – describe themselves as supporters of the free market today, in spite of the unrelenting propaganda against it. And that’s great. Those statements of support, however, are followed by the inevitable but: but we need government to provide physical security and dispute resolution, the most critical services of all.
Almost without a thought, people who otherwise support the market want to assign to government the production of the most important goodsTuesday, November 24, 2020 |

Over the years I've accumulated a long list of quotes about money and banking extracted from online articles and books I've read.Unlike most other sites that post pithy remarks from famous authors, I include hyperlinks to their sources, so that anyone who wishes can not only verifya quote but, perhaps more importantly, read the context in which it was used.Wednesday, May 20, 2020 |

| Open Borders |
| Many left libertarians demand open borders. Nations have no significance, they tell us. To think otherwise, to recognize any limits to immigration, arbitrarily restricts people’s liberty. Those of us who think otherwise, they say, are no better than fascists.
Joe Salerno’s brilliant and comprehensive article, “Mises on Nationalism, the Right to Self-Determination, and the Problem of Immigration” shows that Mises rejected the extreme anti-nationalist, open borders position.
As Salerno shows, MiseThursday, March 26, 2020 |

| When Government Shuts Down |
| [Editor’s note: As we face another so-called government shutdown, some may recall that we’ve been down this road before. In this 1996 article, Lew Rockwell explains that government “shutdowns” are neither as unpopular, or as troublesome, as the media and Washington politicians assume.]
According to official history, the 104th Congress doomed itself when it shut down the government to force its budget priorities on the president. People got up in arms and demanded that government be reopened. ThiMonday, January 22, 2018 |

ANNOUNCER: This is the Lew Rockwell Show.
ROCKWELL: Welcome to the first LRC podcast. I want to thank producer, Chris Brunner, and announcer, Harvey Gold, for helping get this enterprise on the road.
Today, I’m not going to talk about Bush’s and Cheney’s rotten wars of aggression already going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, covertly going on against Iran. And they, of course, want to start a full-fledged open war against Iran. I’m not going to talMonday, January 8, 2018 |

What a thrill to speak to you on this happy occasion of the Mises Institute's thirtieth anniversary. I am delighted that Ron Paul and Andrew Napolitano have been able to join us for this wonderful celebration, along with our great Mises Institute faculty from universities all over the country, some of our excellent students, and some of the generousMonday, January 1, 2018 |

| That’s nothing new, of course. It began with our first issue in 1999, and has gotten more intense ever since. Just recently, the despicable NY Times, Washington Post, and National Review have vented their spleens once again.
You’d think big, establishment organs like the two newspapers wouldn’t care. But they do. LRC drives them crazy (crazier?). They can’t stand the truth, especially as enunciated by Murray Rothbard and Rothbardians.

| The Future of Libertarianism |
| Marxists were notorious for infighting over the most trivial differences. One group would secede from another, reverse the word order of the group it had seceded from, and declare itself the new and pure group. The first group, the new group would declare to the world, was part of the fascist conspiracy to suppress the coming workers’ triumph, even though the differences between the two groups were completely undetectable even to an expert.

Before the Storm: Barry Goldwater and the Unmaking of the American Consensus By Rick Perlstein, Hill and Wang, 671 pages, $30
“America would remember the sixties as a decade of the Left,” writes Rick Perlstein, in his fascinating and revisionist account of how the 1964 presidential campaign marked a new course of American political life. Really it was the “decade when the polarization began.”
The polarization concerned the role of government.Monday, December 18, 2017 |

| If The Saudi Arabia Situation Doesn't Worry You, You're Not Paying Attention |
| While turbulent during the best of times, gigantic waves of change are now sweeping across the Middle East. The magnitude is such that the impact on the global price of oil, as well as world markets, is likely to be enormous.
A dramatic geo-political realignment by Saudi Arabia is in full swing this month. It’s upending many decades of established strategic relationships among the world's superpowers and, in particular, is throwing the Middle East into turmoil.

| Mises stands between us and 1984 |
| On this day in 1949 Yale University Press published Ludwig von Mises’s economic treatise, Human Action. Later in 1949 another book appeared, George Orwell’s 1984.
Almost everyone has at least heard of Orwell and 1984. The same is unfortunately not true of Mises and Human Action.
Both books are attached to their authors as if they were extended surnames. Orwell is 1984, Mises is Human Action.
Among the many who’ve read it, 1984 is regarded as a premonition of what could happen if thFriday, September 15, 2017 |

| Gold Standard Challenges |
| Scattered recent analysis has centered upon the Gold Standard and its viability within the global financial system. The topic is certainly very blurred and at times confusing. Consider a recent article by a competent analyst Charles Hugh Smith of the site OfTwoMinds on the practicality of gold used as a standard. The article is entitled “The Problem With Gold-Backed Currencies” (which is found HERE and also on Lew Rockwell site HERE). He makes several points, many good ones.

| Jayant is constantly
traveling the world to look for investment opportunities, particularly
in the natural resource sector. He advises institutional investors about
his finds. Earlier, he worked for six years with US Global Investors
(San Antonio, Texas), a boutique natural resource investment firm, and
for one year with Casey Research. Before emigrating from India, he
started and ran Indian subsidiary operations of two European companies.
He still travels multiple times a year to India.

| Media Corruption |
| Rather than immediately wonder how the main stream media became corrupted,
it is appropriate to recall when only the tabloids were suspect.
Perhaps there was a time when any town that was big enough for two newspapers
one would favor the Democrats and the other the Republicans. That would be
by editorials going into an election. For most of the time, the goal was accurate
reporting. That was back when most small towns were right out of a Norman Rockwell

| Trust in Mainstream Media Dips to Record Low: Here’s Why |
| A Gallup poll shows trust in mainstream media fell to a record low 32%. Trust has been on the decline since 1972.
On November 30, Armstrong Economics reported Gallup Poll: Trust in Mainstream Media Falls to 32%.
Armstrong posted a chart of the decline. Armstrong did not link back to the Gallup article, one of my pet peeves.

Ironically, the Washington Post headline, Russian Propaganda Effort Helped Spread ‘Fake News’ During Election, Experts Say reads like it a “fake news” supermarket tabloid.
