  Mainstream Economics: Money as Medium of Exchange, Unit of Account, and Store of Value 25.09.2026 17min

  Mainstream economics does a disservice when students are taught that money is a medium of exchange, a store of value, and a unit of account without explaining why and how money came to function in those categories.

  The Politics of Faking Success 24.09.2026 10min

  The California Energy Commission is mandating that starting in 2029, California drivers must purchase environmentally approved tires that are less safe than current tires.

  Covid Was a Praxeological Test. Too Many Libertarians Failed. 24.09.2026 12min

  No, covid was not the exception to the rule that liberty comes first. Just because the CDC insisted we give up our freedom for what turned out to be a false security did not justify the government’s heavy-handed approach, something that libertarians should have understood all along.

  Will AI Bonds Doom Humanity? 19.09.2026 1godz 13min

  Mark Thornton opens with a recap of inflation, commodity prices, interest rates, and stagnant real wages before turning to “bubble bonds”: the explosion of borrowing by AI hyperscalers to finance data centers, chips, and infrastructure with assets whose useful lives may be far shorter than the bonds issued to fund them. Mark connects the AI boom to the Austrian business cycle, comparing it to earlier technology-driven bubbles in public utilities, telecom, dot-coms, and housing finance. On Side B, Mark discusses global financial stress, war-driven energy disruptions, diesel and food prices, strained consumers, government debt, the Treasury market, and the danger that fiat-money governments will try to print their way out. He also contrasts today’s debt problem with the post–World War II demobilization and closes with thoughts on gold, silver, central-bank buying, and the possibility of a monetary reset. 2026 is the Year of Rothbard—Murray’s 100th birthday—and we’re celebrating by giving away free copies of Economic Depressions: Their Cause and Cure through September 30.

  9/11 and the Idealized “War on Terror” 18.09.2026 22min

  Twenty-five years after 9/11, many seek to rehabilitate the War on Terror by appealing to the horror of 9/11, the right to respond, and the ideal of fighting terrorism. Many now demand that we judge an idealized “War on Terror” by its intentions rather than the war that actually occurred. Original article: https://mises.org/mises-wire/911-and-idealized-war-terror

  Why the AI CEOs Really Want to Be Regulated 17.09.2026 11min

  Slavery Was Not the Difference: How Legal Innovations Made America a Superpower While Brazil Stagnated 17.09.2026 15min

  Both Brazil and the US had slavery in the 1800s, but the US economy flourished while Brazil’s languished. If slavery was the engine for US economic growth, as leftists claim, then why didn’t Brazil’s economy match that of the US?

  Conclusion 16.09.2026 5min

  By the close of the 1920s, business elites led by Wall Street had secured government enforcement of their cartels across banking, industry, transportation, and health—always advocated in the name of the public interest, always intended to serve private ones. The party that lost was the broader public belonging to no interest group; the growth of 1849 to 1929 came from free-market forces, which the corporatist network inhibited, delayed, and distorted.

  Chapter 6. Wall Street’s Central Bank 16.09.2026 50min

  By the new century the power elite was Morgan, Kuhn Loeb, Baker’s First National, and Stillman’s National City, yet New York’s share of central reserve city deposits was slipping as Chicago and St. Louis gained. Patrick Newman covers Jekyll Island, the National Citizens’ League organized as a front to manufacture grass-roots support, and the pivot once Congress refused the Aldrich plan: if the central bank had to look decentralized, then control its personnel instead.

  Introduction 16.09.2026 23min

  Patrick Newman defines cronyism as government intervention that benefits special interests at the expense of the public interest, and argues the corporatist state was built in stages over eight decades rather than arriving at once. He explains why his earlier “Liberty versus Power” framework stops applying after 1849: parties no longer divided over liberty and favoritism, only over which special interests they would reward.
