  Equality Before the Law Does Not Mean Equality of Subjective Feelings 07.10.2026 10Min.

  Government Should Liquidate Itself 06.10.2026 8Min.

  Social Security Is Just a Transfer Payment from Workers to Retirees 06.10.2026 9Min.

  Why Our “Populist Moment” Keeps Failing 05.10.2026 10Min.

  Populists have spent the past decade rebelling against a political system they correctly recognize as rigged.

  Market Coiling 03.10.2026 1Std. 52Min.

  Mark Thornton examines whether the precious metals market is coiling after last year’s push, this year’s correction, and months of volatility driven by war news, Fed policy, the dollar, and CPI concerns. He lays out six factors shaping the market: refining bottlenecks, metals flowing east, stacker psychology, sluggish mining stocks, the limited effect of rate hikes, and the Fed’s continued accommodative posture despite its inflation-fighting rhetoric. He then connects those market signals to a broader problem: government intervention and manipulation across interest rates, currencies, bonds, favored companies, AI, and financial markets. On Side B, the episode features recent interviews with Paul Buitink and Julia La Roche on AI, gold, the Persian Gulf war, and the macro forces affecting individuals. 2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray’s 100th birthday—and we’re celebrating by giving away free copies of Wall Street, Banks, and American Foreign Policy through October 31.

  Conservatives: Was Ronald Reagan a Coward and Traitor? 02.10.2026 18Min.

  Every Man a Slave? Huey Long as a Model for the Wrong Kind of Populism 01.10.2026 16Min.

  Dr. Mark Thornton argues that America’s schools and universities have spent 150 years quietly instilling a collectivist ideology, and that the real problem isn’t declining test scores but a progressive worldview baked in from kindergarten up.

  Tate Fegley argues that government schools fail to teach sound economics not necessarily out of malice, but because they have no incentive to teach the very ideas that would undermine them.
