We're All Talking about Inflation, but Deflation May Also Be on the Way

Frank Shostak
Most recent data continue to show a visible acceleration in "price inflation," with the yearly growth rate of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 6.2 percent in October from 5.4 percent in September and 1.2 percent in October of last year—its h...

The Narratives Fail

James Howard Kunstler
Does it finally look like Dr. Anthony Fauci is trying to carry out an assisted suicide of the United States? On the Sunday Morning TV chat circuit, the White House Covid-19 czar (a.k.a. The Science) declared that the new Omicron variant is “a clarion call” to get people vaccinated. Is that so, Dr. Fauci? Considering how well your “vaccines” work? And how many people have been maimed and killed by their side-effects? (More than all other vaccin...

Decolonize This!

James Howard Kunstler
Now that Thanksgiving with all its racist trimmings is put to bed, will Americans be able to “decolonize” their minds? Not if the masters of universal hysteria can help it. Here it comes, just in time to reignite the limbic channels in your brain with pulses of cosmic terror on the runway to Christmas: The B.1.1.529 Covid-19 variant out of Botswana. It’s a beauty, with thirty-two mutations on its decorative spike protein, supposedly making it ...

The Divisia Monetary Indicator and the Money Supply Definition

Frank Shostak
By most commentators, since the early 1980s, correlations between various definitions of money and national income have broken down. The reason for this breakdown, it is held, is financial deregulation that made the demand for money unstable. Because o...

The Jolly Roger Dollar

George F. Smith
In his 1982 article, “Monetary Policy: Theory and Practice,” Nobel laureate Milton Friedman, no friend of gold, said that  If a domestic money consists of a commodity, a pure gold standard or cowrie bead standard, the principles of monetary policy are...

Is Price Stability Really a Good Thing?

Frank Shostak
Contrary to popular thinking, there is no such thing as a price level that should be stabilized by the central bank in order to promote economic prosperity. Original Article: "Is Price Stability Really a Good Thing?" This Audio Mises Wire is generously sponsored by Christopher Condon. Narrated by Michael Stack.

What’s Wrong With “Neoliberal Economics”?

Nathan Lewis
(This item originally appeared at AIER.org on November 23, 2021.) As a member of the “supply side” branch of modern classical economics, I might be labeled a “neoliberal economist” by some. But, there are important points at which common “neoliberal” economics fails badly, and which give rise to much-deserved criticism. It is mostly Keynesianism  “Keynesianism,” in a broad sense, is a doctrine of macroeconomic manipulation, via tw...

A Big Flip?

James Howard Kunstler
Proposing a hypothetical: What if “Joe Biden” has worsening symptoms of an adverse reaction to his late September Covid booster shot? Does that account for the sudden flurry of interest in how his handlers might manage the problem of Kamala Harris? And what, is the problem with Kamala Harris? That she is Vice-president and next-in-line for Commander-in-chief in the (adverse) event that “JB” has to step aside. And why is that a problem? Because...

"Going Cashless" Isn't as Easy as It Seems

Frank Shostak
Many economic commentators are in favor of phasing out cash. They are of the view that cash provides support to the shadow economy and permits tax evasion. It is also held that in times of economic shocks that push the economy into a recession the risi...

Onward Into Darkness

James Howard Kunstler
Tripping over the doorsill into “Joe Biden’s” dark winter, what do you see out in the gathering gloom? That old Shining City on a Hill is looking more like Detroit in a sleet-storm, with dumpster fires sputtering here and there in the broken streets. The darkness descending is something more ominous than any ordinary night. In the shadows, an insectile legion seems to be stealing away with what remains of your country. Was it reassuring to see...

Is Price Stability Really a Good Thing?

Frank Shostak
One of the mandates of the Federal Reserve System is to attain price stability. It is held that price stability is the key as far as economic stability is concerned. What is it all about? The idea of price stability originates from the view that volatile changes in the price level prevent individuals from seeing market signals as conveyed by changes in the relative prices of goods and services. For instance, because of an increase in the deman...

Who Will Answer?

James Howard Kunstler
Why on earth would any American with a functioning brain believe what he /she /they is being told by the public health officialdom, the politicians, or the news media? For two years, they have lied to you about everything relating to the Covid-19 virus, including where it came from, how it was developed, who sponsored its development, how the vaccines happened to come onstage thirty seconds after the disease entered the scene, how well the vac...

The Recognition

James Howard Kunstler
The climate change agitation is based on a central grandiose fallacy of our wobbling technocratic age: the idea that if you can measure enough stuff, you can control it. The master-wish in this case is what, exactly? To control the weather? (Which we might define as the day-to-day expression of the planet’s climate?) That ain’t gonna happen. In case you haven’t noticed, the business model of industrial civilization is already broken, and many ...

Woke Gets Whacked — But Hold the Victory Lap

James Howard Kunstler
It begins to look like the 2021 elections put a decisive end to the Woke-Jacobin-Progressive reign-of-terror, and its demonic efforts to cancel the authority of truth in human affairs — truth being derived from reality. For years, in an ever-escalating campaign of coercion, persecution, and punishment, the WJPs made their own reality-optional “truth” and foolishly expected the nation to roll over for it. On Tuesday, voters all over the land, i...

Medicine Wants to Kill You

James Howard Kunstler
Historians of the future, savoring ‘possum goulash around their campfires, will marvel that modern medicine squandered its authority, its credibility, and its sacred honor in the Covid Panic of the 2020s, when public health officials and doctors in clinical practice colluded to force mass vaccinations while suppressing news of the harms and injuries the vaccines caused — potentially sacrificing millions of citizens like so many experimental fr...

The Problem with "Stakeholder Capitalism"

Frank Shostak
Writing in the Investment Monitor on March 18, 2021, Klaus Schwab, the founder of the World Economic Forum, was urging the replacement of the present economic system. According to Schwab, the present system is deficient, since it only benefits a small minority of the population while leaving all the others at a visible disadvantage. Schwab is of the view that a system that strives at attaining maximum profits, which he labels as shareholder ca...

What "Inflation"

Frank Shostak
Most commentators label increases in the prices of goods and services over a period of time as inflation. Ludwig von Mises however, held that the popular definition of inflation is erroneous. He wrote in Economic Freedom and Interventionism (p. 99), In...

Chilling Bigly

James Howard Kunstler
Is it so, as some wags say, that industry no longer makes money; only finance does? That’s been the operating theory for much of the West lately. Of course, that invites the question: what then is finance supposed to finance… that is, put money into? Why… industry, of course, and in the broadest sense of the word: the production of goods… goods being things that have value (that’s what’s good about them). How quaint! But most of the industry t...

Bank Reserves and Basel III, 2021

Nathan Lewis
Today we will catch up on a topic that I first addressed in 2019, regarding new regulations for banks arising from Basel III, and bank reserves, which are a form of base money and a liability on the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. October 21, 2019:...

"Idle Resources" Are Problems Caused by the Central Bank

Frank Shostak
It is not possible to replace productive credit by means of the easy monetary policies of the central bank. If this could have been done, then the world would have already ended poverty. Original Article: "'Idle Resources' Are Problems Caused by the Central Bank" This Audio Mises Wire is generously sponsored by Christopher Condon. Narrated by Michael Stack.

You Know What They Sayin’?

James Howard Kunstler
Do you marvel, as I do, at this malignant hive organism — arguably worse than the Covid-19 chimera virus — that calls itself “Joe Biden”? The personage of that name is a mere effigy, of course, like one of those grotesque mummies hoisted above the mob in a religious procession from some primitive cannibal kingdom. It’s the mob itself that actually matters, though, the twerking parade of Woke-Progressive Democrats, because it is bent absolutely...

Common Sense 2021

George F. Smith
For nearly two years we have been fed a narrative that’s been false and confusing.The only part not confusing is what all of the confusion tells us. For this reason I not only reject the vaccines, I reject the entire covid scenario as a plan to destroy what’s left of Western culture and the free market economy.  As I’ve written earlier, we are under attack.  Governments local and national are criminalizing individual rights, sabotaging the eco...

Consider the Lowly Sandflies

James Howard Kunstler
Some flinched when Dr. Fauci commanded the children of America to take the mRNA shots fraught with deadly side effects, but now it’s out that the agency he has controlled for decades like a Byzantine despot, the NIAID, gave a $1.6 million grant to a lab in Tunisia — that world-beating center of the bio-sciences — to study what happens when puppy-dogs are pinned down so that ravenous sandflies can chew their snouts off. I guess it didn’t go too...

Rationalizing Tariffs

Nathan Lewis
Economic Nationalism tends to boil down into two basic policies: tariffs, and limited immigration. Sometimes, in the past, it has meant currency devaluations, but today that is not really proposed. On a broader basis, it means that economic policy should result in positive outcomes, for the whole of the population. This might mean suppressing some elements of “free enterprise,” for example, limiting child labor, or banning consumer lending at ...

Understanding Money Velocity and Prices

Frank Shostak
The yearly growth rate of US's "Austrian money supply" jumped by almost 80 percent in February 2020 (see chart). Given such massive increase in money supply, it is tempting to suggest that this lays the foundation for an explosive increase in the annua...

Why a Bear Market in Bonds Points to a Weakening Economy

Frank Shostak
Years of bubbles and malinvestment have a downside: the destruction of the productive, wealth-building parts of the economy. And that could mean higher interest rates. Original Article: "Why a Bear Market in Bonds Points to a Weakening Economy...

“What Am I Doing?” He Asks

James Howard Kunstler
If you want a picture of things converging toward an unfortunate outcome, imagine “Joe Biden” playing chicken with the future of the nation. Trouble is, the future is a very big thing — so big, you can’t see where it ends — while “Joe Biden” is one mere mortal, small and feeble… and the old jalopy he’s driving looks like it’s veering off the road…. The net effect is that life will go on in ways as-yet-undetermined upon this land-mass between t...

Transitory Permanence

Peter Schiff
The inflation that we were emphatically told would be transitory and unmoored continues to persist and entrench. As the troubles gather momentum Washington is doing its best to ignore the problem or actively make it worse.The latest batch of data shows that the Consumer Price Index rose 5.4% in September, the 5th consecutive month that year over year inflation came in at more than 5%. The figure rises to 6.5% if we project the inflation levels...

Let Us Count the Ways

James Howard Kunstler
What America really wants to know is: after those months of “family leave,” did Pete Buttigieg get the hang of lactating? Hey, if sexuality is just a “social construct,” then the functions of sexuality must be teachable. So now Pete can move on to ovulation lessons and become the “birthing person” of his dreams. Pete’s dreams are America’s dreams, you see. In the meantime, though, America has a little transportation problem that a Secretary of...
